NJ Public Favors Same Sex Marriage

A majority of New Jersey favors marriage for same-sex couples over civil unions according to a poll released Tuesday.
The Zogby Poll found an even bigger majority would not be opposed to lawmakers changing the civil union law to marriage equality.
The poll, commissioned by Garden State Equality, found that by 59 to 36 percent, New Jerseyans would be “fine with” public officials’ changing the civil union law to marriage equality.
The poll reminded voters that New Jersey already has a civil union law, and found a majority of New Jersey still supports marriage for same-sex couples – 50.1 to 42.3 percent. And 69 percent of New Jerseyans said that marriage equality is inevitable in the state.
