57% agree that people of the same sex should be allowed to marry and 31% think they should not. These results are very similar to the last time this issue was measured in May. However, over the last 3 years support for same sex marriage has increased a little and opposition declined.
Support for same sex marriage is 49% among men but 65% among women. 66% of under 35’s and 62% of those with university education support same sex marriage.
