STRONG SUPPORT IS FOUND FOR BAN ON GAY MARRIAGE

Article Abstract:

A new New York Times/CBS News poll finds that 55% of Americans support a constitutional amendment that would limit the right of marriage to a man and woman. This presents a challenge to Democratic presidential candidates who support gay rights. These new poll numbers would give Pres. Bush a platform on which to appeal to his conservative supporters although he knows that an amendment would not get through Congress. The increased resistance to gay marriage seems to have been impacted by recent state court decisions that allow gays to marry or pursue civil unions.
