Colorado: New Poll Says 47% Support Marriage Equality, 76% Support Legal Recognition for Gay Couples
Colorado had already strongly favored legal equality for gay couples. 71% wanted them to have at least civil unions, and that has only grown to 76% now, with 42% still preferring full marriage and 34% civil unions. Only 23% want these relationships to have no legal recognition, down from 27%. 87% of Democrats (up nine points), 80% of independents (up four), and even 60% of Republicans (up three) want gay couples to have the same rights and privileges as married heterosexual couples.
Encouraging, but we’ll see what (if anything) comes of it. Eventually we’ll get to those numbers nationally. :)
