Americans’ support for the law recognizing same-sex marriages as legally valid has increased yet again, now at 55%. … Democrats (74%) are far more likely to support gay marriage as Republicans are (30%), while independents (58%) are more in line with the national average. Though Republicans still lag behind in their support of same-sex marriage, they have nearly doubled their support for it since Gallup began polling on the question in 1996. CONT.
