A majority of U.S. voters would support the Supreme Court ruling in favor of same-sex marriage, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released Monday. About 56 percent of the 1,711 registered voters nationwide surveyed held this view, compared to 38 percent who opposed it.
By political affiliations, 70 percent of Democrats and 61 percent of independents said they want to see same-sex couples granted the constitutional right to marry. Just 34 percent of Republicans said the same.
