The poll found an increase in support among Democrats since President Barack Obama announced in May that he favors same-sex marriage. In April, a Pew poll gauged support among Democrats at 59 percent.

Can you read?

And you stated that as fact in your earlier post?

LOLOLOL!

Yes, I can read.

In fact, I am capable of reading more than just a headline.

From the Fox story, “Overall, Americans remain closely divided on same-sex marriage. The new Pew poll found 48 percent in favor and 44 percent opposed, virtually unchanged from a survey in April — before to Obama’s announcement.”

Which is, of course, exactly what the Post story said. 65% of Democrats are in favor, 51% of independents and 29% of Republicans, which equates to 48% of general population. Obviously, most of those who post here are Republicans, or at least conservatives, so this group is not a representative sample at all.

(Must I insert a specific caveat that this is what the poll says, not necessarily the actual factual truth, or are those reading this capable of making that common sense leap of reason themselves, without having it carefully pointed out to them?)

None of those challenging me have posted evidence showing that there is NOT a movement in public opinion towards acceptance of gay marriage.

It’s up for voting in four states this fall. I’ll be very surprised (and happy) if it doesn’t pass in at least one of those states. As I’ve said several times, I think the public is wrong on this issue, or is at least moving towards being wrong.
