WASHINGTON, D.C. — A decade after the Supreme Court’s milestone Obergefell v. Hodges ruling declared same-sex marriage a national right in the U.S., a steady 68% of Americans support it.
Since 2021, the percentage of U.S. adults who think marriages between same-sex couples should be recognized with the same rights as traditional marriages has ranged from 68% to 71% (the trend high in 2022 and 2023). Yet, this stability in Americans’ backing for same-sex marriage masks shifts in partisans’ views over the same period. Democrats’ support has risen to 88%, the record high for this group by one percentage point. Independents’ backing for same-sex marriage has been relatively stable in recent years and currently stands at 76%, one point shy of the record high.
At the same time, Republicans’ support, which peaked at 55% in 2021 and 2022, has gradually edged down to 41%, the lowest point since 2016 after the Obergefell decision.
The current 47-point gap between Republicans and Democrats is the largest since Gallup first began tracking this measure 29 years ago.
Public backing for legalized same-sex marriage was low in Gallup’s first reading in 1996, with 27% support from Americans. By 2004, 42% were in favor, and in 2011, support reached the majority level for the first time, where it has remained since late 2012. A year after the Obergefell decision, in 2016, public support increased to 61%, and it has been above that level since.
From 27% support 30 years ago to 68% support today. All thanks to jew degeneracy in popular culture and "progressive" Christcucks masquerading as Republicucks.
