New National Poll Shows Huge Majority Believe Marriage Equality Is Constitutional Issue

 

 

 

The latest Quinnipiac Poll shows that a vast majority of Americans believe that marriage equality should be based on the Constitution of the United States and not individual states laws. A Supreme Court decision on marriage equality based on the Constitution would likely have considerable support nationally.

The poll numbers are powerful with 56% saying the issue should be decided by the American Constitution versus only 36% who believe it should be decided by state law.
