Take this quick survey from USA Today on whether there should be a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage:
As of now, results show NO leading with 91.48% to 8.52% for YES after 297,415 votes.
Also, a couple interesting points on the topic were made yesterday about how even in the remote possibility that such an amendment were to pass, ten or twenty years from now it will look absolutely ridiculous and be overturned. In other words, it seems that younger people (Generations X, Y, and whatever today’s babies will be labeled) are generally much more in support of gay marriage than, for example, Baby Boomers or the Greatest Generation.
