Tallahassee, Fla. — While most Florida voters don't approve of marriage for gay and lesbian couples, a majority supports civil unions that would give same-sex couples the legal rights of married couples, according to a new poll.
Voters are also uncomfortable with a proposed federal constitutional amendment prohibiting gay marriage, with only 41 percent of those polled saying they would support President Bush's push to ban same-sex marriages.
A plurality of voters say the regulation of marriage should be left to states, according to a Miami Herald/St. Petersburg Times poll of 800 registered voters in Florida. Eleven percent of voters are undecided on the constitutional amendment question. |
