Record number of California voters now support marriage equality

A new poll finds that nearly six out of ten California voters now support marriage equality for gay and lesbian couples, a significant increase since the state voted to ban same-sex marriage a little more than two years ago.
According to the latest Field Research Poll, voter approval of same-sex marriage has reached its highest level ever recorded during thirty-five years of polling on the issue in California.

Currently 59 percent of this state’s registered voters favor allowing same-sex couples to marry and have regular marriage laws apply to them, while 34 percent disapprove. Another 7 percent did not express an opinion.
