MAJORITY OF NEW JERSEY VOTERS SUPPORT GAY MARRIAGE
As the New Jersey state Senate prepares to vote on gay marriage, a
new Rutgers-Eagleton Poll shows that 54 percent of Garden State voters say gay marriage should be
legalized. Fewer than 40 percent oppose such a move, while 7 percent have no position on the issue. The
last time the state legislature debated a marriage bill, during the 2009 lame-duck session, only 46 percent
of Garden Staters were in favor, and 40 percent opposed.
