after president obama's marriage equality support announcement the
request was about would we actually see if any shift at all in public opinion of
marriage equality and it turns out that opposition to same-sex marriages at an
all-time low public opinion continuing to ship lewis in favor
for marriage equality there's a new washington post a_b_c_ poll which shows
that initial signs that support for the idea
from obama
may have changed a few minds seems to be holding steady surprise about this but
just a statement from obama on this could change people's opinion
uh... no
acting you're a lot of people were
usually influence
for better or worse i mean i'm not talking about the specific situation but
i think the president definitely has some has some poll when it comes to that
i think there's two things going on here one is that some people may be changing
their opinion but what's probably even more likely is that people are just
willing to admit their position now
now you know they feel like all will now it's not just something that crazy
left-wing people supported something that our president supports though they
feel they feel you know it's legitimate actually come out but how many people
think our president is crazy left-winger
over fifty three percent of americans now say that gay marriage should be
legal hitting the high mark in support
and showing a huge turnaround from six years ago were only thirty six percent
but they should be legal thirty nine percent which is a new love say that got
gay marriage should be
illegal also interesting to a lot of questions about how african-americans
would react to this because louis as we know there are uh... many
african-americans more more religious and often moret ganz gay marriage it
turns out that fifty nine percent of african americans now say they support
same-sex marriage
up from an average of forty-one percent in polls leading up to the announcement
so certainly we see in influence
that was that we have this kind of philly quack target philly question
will black voters abandon old bomb a
for for romney
because of the announcement battle will be ok by
i don't see that happening
