New Yorkers Still Good With Gay Marriage

Despite the vows of fat cow Maggie Gallagher and the folks at NOM to punish New York State legislators who voted for the state's marriage law back in June, a new poll suggests that NOM will face an uphill battle. The Daily News has coverage of the poll and here are highlights:

A few weeks after same-sex marriage became law here on July 24, a NY1/Marist poll finds most New Yorkers are still comfortable with the idea and don't want to turn back the clock.

Here are a few highlights, followed by the full findings: 55% of NYS adults support the legalization of same-sex marriage. 36% oppose it, and 9% are unsure. Similar proportions of registered voters share these views.

When it comes to a suit filed to overturn the law, 63% of adults statewide don’t want the law to be overturned, 32% do and 5% are unsure.

Nearly seven in ten suburban residents -- 69% -- and about two-thirds of those upstate -- 66% -- don’t want the law overturned. 57% of NYC adults agree.

Although 79% of New York State residents don't expect to be a guest at the same-sex marriage of a family member or friend in the next year, 70% would attend asked, including 34% who oppose the law legalizing same-sex marriage.
