| Description | New Hampshire residents oppose gay marriage but look more favorably on civil unions.
Asked their opinion of civil unions, 44 percent favored allowing it. Forty percent opposed civil unions and 16 percent weren't sure.
Research 2000 conducted the telephone poll for the Concord Monitor from Dec. 18-20. The margin of error was plus or minus four percentage points.
Those questioned identified themselves as regular voters.
Two proposals for the legislative session that begins next week would extend the legal rights that married couples have to gay couples in civil unions.
"It's good timing to discuss this, in large part because of the changes in the Legislature" -- which recently switched from Republican to Democratic control for the first time in 130 years -- "but also because we've seen what has happened in Massachusetts," said Rep. James Splaine, the sponsor of one bill.
