As California Moves Left, California Republicans Move Right on Gay Marriage

The really striking finding in the Field data, however, was that the change in attitudes toward same-sex marriage came almost exclusively among Democrats and so-called "non partisan" (independent) voters. Non partisans have gone from being opposed to gay marriage by 55 percent to 38 percent margin to being supportive of it at a 57 percent to 38 percent clip. Democrats went from opposing the idea at a two to one rate (29 percent/63 percent) to supporting it by roughly the same number (64/30). Republicans, interestingly, have grown more against same sex marriage with 65 percent opposing it in 1977 and 68 percent opposing it in 2009. Full Story from The Washington Post
