string(5345) "www.ppic.org CALIFORNIANS’ ATTITUDES TOWARD SAME-SEX MARRIAGE Sonja Petek In the wake of the June 2013 U.S. Supreme Court decision, support for same -sex marriage is at a new high. PPIC’s September 2013 statewide survey found that a record high 61% of Californians and 64% of likely voters favor allowing gay and lesbian couples to legally marry ( 34% of adults and 32% of likely voter s oppose). Solid majorities of Californians (59%) and likely voters (63%) approve of the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to let stand a lower court ruling on Proposition 8 that allows gay marriage in California. Public opinion has undergone a reversal since 2000. In January 2000, t he first time PPIC asked about legalizing same-sex marriage , 39% of Californians were in favor and 55% were opposed. In October 2008, just before the passage of Proposition 8 (which banned same- sex marriage), 4 4% were in favor of allowing gays and lesbians to marry. Support for same -sex marriage moved above 50% in 2010, and the margin of support has continued to grow. Support has risen 5 points since May 2013, just before the U.S. Supreme Court issued its ruling. Since October 2008, s upport has risen by double digits among Democrats, independents, and Republicans . Although support for allowing same- sex marriage is still far higher among Democrats (76% , up 20 points since October 2008) and independents ( 67%, up 14 points), it has nearly doubled among Republicans (from 23% to 44 %, with 53% opposed). A majority of older Californians now favor allowing gay marriage; support is also up among other groups. For the first time, a majority of Californians age 55 and older favor allowing same-sex marriage (55% favor, 39% oppose)—a near reversal of opinion since October 2008 (34% favor, 58% opposed). S upport for same -sex marriage has grown a considerable 1 5 points among younger Californians, age 18– 34 (from 53% to 68%), and 1 3 points among those age 35– 54 (from 45% to 58%). Majorities of women (66%, up 19 points) and men (5 5%, up 1 3 points) now support same -sex marriage. A majority of parents expresse d oppos ition in 2008 (42% favor, 54% opposed), but now the reverse is true (53 % favor, 42% oppose). T here have been double- digit increases in support among Latinos (from 36% to 54 %) and whites (from 50% to 65 %). Support is still highest in the San Francisco Bay Area and Los Angeles, but it has risen in all regions . More than six in 10 residents in the San Francisco Bay Area (73%, up 15 points since 2008) and Los Angeles (64%, up 20 points) favor allowing same- sex marriage. In “other Southern California ” (Orange, San Diego, Riverside, and San Bernardino Counties) , support has increased 14 points to 55% (42% oppose). Central Valley residents are divided on this issue (49% favor, 44% oppose), although support has grown 11 points since 2008. Record shares of mainline Protestants and Catholics express support . A strong majority of mainline Protestants (70%, up 26 points since 2008) now favor allowing same- sex marriage and s upport has grown 17 points among Catholics (from 42% to 59%). Most evangelical Protestan ts (67%) remain opposed to same- sex marriage, although support has increased somewhat since 2008 (from 15% to 23%). Similar trends in public opinion are evident nationwide. Same-sex marriage is now legal in the District of Columbia and 19 states ; in 10 of these states it became legal after the June 2013 Supreme Court decision . In 12 additional states, court decisions in favor of same -sex marriage are being appeal ed. Growing acceptance among the public is reflected in numerous national polls: surveys by ABC News/Washington Post, Bloomberg, CBS News/New York Times, Gallup, NBC News/ Wall Street Journal, and the Pew Research Center, among others, find majorities of adults in favor of allowing same- sex marriage.
