A majority of New Yorkers favor the freedom to marry, a new poll finds. The Quinnipiac University poll says voters statewide would support a law to allow same-sex couples to marry by a 51% to 41% margin, with 8% undecided. Just six weeks ago, Quinnipiac found voters split 46% to 46% on the issue. Five years ago, 55% opposed marriage equality compared to 37% who favored it. "Supporters have worked hard in the last six weeks, moving the needle from dead even to slightly ahead," pollster Maurice Carroll said. [Link]
