Survey: Americans’ opposition to gay marriage eases slightly

An annual same-sex marriage survey has shown that America’s opposition to gay marriage has decreased slightly.

The surveys show that support was slightly higher in 2007, when it was at 46%. Gallup first asked the question about same-sex marriage in 1996, and 68% of Americans were opposed and 27% in favor.

The chart shows that America’s attitude torwards gay marriage has moved forward in the past years, but just how long will it take before the majority of the United States support it?
