Fewer than half of Americans oppose gay marriage, poll finds

For the first time since Pew started asking about it, fewer than half of
those polled said they oppose gay marriage.
(CNN) -- Fewer than half of Americans oppose legalized same-sex marriage,
according to a new poll on the issue released Wednesday, with significant
shifts in public opinion on the issue just since last year.
More Americans continue to oppose gay marriage than support it, according to
the poll, which was released Wednesday by the Pew Research Center. But for
the first time since Pew starting asking about same sex marriage 15 years
ago, fewer than half of those polled said they oppose legalizing the
institution.
The poll revealed other firsts. For the first time since Pew began asking
about the issue, more white mainline Protestants and white Catholics favor
gay marriage than oppose it.
"The shift in opinion on same-sex marriage has been broad-based, occurring
across many demographic, political and religious groups," Pew's polling
analysis said.
The analysis noted that political independents, who were opposed to gay
marriage by a wide margin just last year, are now divided on the issue.
The poll -- which combines two surveys conducted from July to September of
this year -- found that 42 percent of Americans favor same-sex marriage,
while 48 percent oppose it.
In polls conducted in 2009, 37 percent favored gay marriage while 54 percent
were opposed, Pew said.
"The public continues to be far more supportive of gays and lesbians serving
openly in the military than of allowing legal same-sex marriages," the Pew'
s polling analysis notes.
Sixty percent of Americans favor allowing gays and lesbians to serve openly
in the military, while 30 percent oppose it. Support for gays serving openly
in the military has remained fairly stable over the last five years, Pew
said.
On gay marriage, the new poll found significant differences of opinions
along age, racial and partisan lines.
Americans in the so-called Millennial Generation -- those born after the
1980s -- favor gay marriage by 53 percent to 39 percent, the poll found.
Among those born between 1928 and 1945, just 29 percent favor allowing gays
and lesbians to marry legally, while 59 percent are opposed.
Among Democrats, 53 percent support legalized gay marriage, while just 24
percent of Republicans do.
And while whites are evenly divided over gay marriage, the poll found,
blacks oppose legalizing the institution by a wide margin. | k*****e

但这是该研究机构的同样调查中第一次出现反对人数低于50%
2009年的调查是54%反对, 37%支持。
不同年龄组有显著差异：
80后中，53%支持同性婚姻，39%反对。
而65-82岁的人群中，29%支持，59%反对。
政治倾向有显著差异：
民主党人中53%支持，共和党人中仅24%支持。
相比较，支持同性恋在军中服役的支持率较高。
支持者占60%，反对者占30%，而且几年来这一比例较为稳定。
