Majority of Americans favor same sex marriage

WBURSource: PFLAG

According to a Gallup poll, the percentage of Americans who believe marriage equality should be recognized by the law has increased dramatically from approximately 28% in 1996 to approximately 54% of the general population in 2011.

An ABC News/Washington Post poll reinforces this trend by showing that the strength of support for marriage equality outstrips the strength of opposition. Today, 39% of Americans strongly support marriage equality while only 32% strongly oppose it.

It will be interesting to see how same sex marriage ballot initiatives fare this November in the four states featured in the above graphic.
