New Jersey Voters’ Gay-Marriage Support Reaches High After Christie Veto

[RandySF]

New Jersey (STONJ1) voters’ support for same- sex marriage reached a record high in the days after Republican Governor Chris Christie vetoed legislation to legalize the unions, a Quinnipiac University (78104MF) poll shows.

Registered voters favor gay marriage 57 percent to 37 percent, according to the survey released today. They also approve, 67 percent to 28 percent, Christie’s proposal to put the matter on the November ballot, a plan rejected by Senate President Steve Sweeney and Assembly Speaker Sheila Oliver, leaders in the Democratic-controlled Legislature.

“What’s left, for now anyway, is a political issue,” Maurice Carroll, director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute in Hamden, Connecticut, said in a statement.

1. Well

More and more the public Is moving to support Gay Marrage.Even some Republicans do.Granted not the far extreme Republican
politicans but still some.

However Civil rights should not be voted on.If civil rights for Blacks would have been voted on In the 1960's It would have been
defeated.Of course back then there were some Moderate Republican politicans for It just like who helped Johnson pass civil rights since many conservative southern Democrats were against It.

3. More people agree than disagree

If your marriage is threatened by two people getting married, your marriage was already in deep trouble.
