N.H. Wants to Keep Marriage Equality

While efforts ramp up to repeal marriage equality in Iowa, a supermajority of residents in New Hampshire are happy to keep gay marriage on the books, according to a new poll.

A telephone poll conducted in January and February queried 520 people in New Hampshire on marriage equality — only 29% want same-sex marriage repealed, while 64% said they wanted to keep marriage rights for gay couples.

Republicans took over New Hampshire's legislature in November, but state leaders have decided to delay action on marriage until 2012.
