70% of Americans support same-sex marriage, poll shows. - NBCOUT

In a campaign season, it’s not unusual to stake everything on mobilizing your base, he added. But after an election, it’s a different matter altogether.

“Support for anti-discrimination laws is now at 83 percent — and that includes a solid majority of white evangelicals,” he said. Looking at the survey, passage of sweeping anti-discrimination laws is inevitable. “Any Republican strategist would see support is a no-brainer. The fact that some loud voices say they oppose it to the bitter end is besides the point,” Galston added.

LGBTQ rights was one of the few issues respondents seemed to find common ground on. Only 7 percent of Democrats approve of President Donald Trump’s handling of the pandemic, compared to 78 percent of Republicans. And almost 80 percent of Republicans said police killings of African Americans were isolated incidents not indicative of institutional racism, compared to just 17 percent of Democrats.

Eight in 10 Democrats say the GOP has been overrun by racists, while a comparable percentage of Republicans say the Democratic Party has been taken over by socialists. “As we head into the 2020 election during an unprecedented year of multiple crises," PRRI founder Robert P. Jones said in a statement,"Republicans and Democrats seem to be living in different countries."

PixMichelle NBCOUT Gov't has more important things to do than regulate what consenting adults do in private. Who people love is non of their damn business.

NBCOUT Who cares?! BidenChinaCorruption

NBCOUT

NBCOUT Makes me want to puke, but to each his own.

NBCOUT 70% of Americans? Or 70% of the Americans you asked ?

NBCOUT Yes. Right. Who cares. Trump 2020.

NBCOUT 70%!!!!

NBCOUT Vote democrat no matter who LBTQ. Your rights depend on it.

NBCOUT Honestly, it should be 100%. Why do some citizens get rights that others don't - with regards to anything?

NBCOUT gross

NBCOUT Not Amy Coathanger Barrett !!

NBCOUT At least 30% of you still have a mind ... They destroyed you. They washed your brains .. Color you as they love .. You are now, 70%, have stripped of your humanity, and indeed you have gone crazy .. You are now not humans any more

NBCOUT In another decade there will be similar numbers in support of pedophilia.

NBCOUT Sure. Why can’t they become just as stressed and miserable as us straight people?

NBCOUT Then we should have 70% of VOTES RIGHT?

NBCOUT 30% of the public needs to get their noses out of other people’s bedrooms and bodies. Land of the free. Mind your own business.

NBCOUT But Soros, obama, Clinton, Pelosi, Biden, kamala, Sanders, Schumer etc will marry the opposite sex, have their offsprings inherit the wealth and keep the family name running.

NBCOUT Shows the true gospel and moral decline

NBCOUT Love is love 💕

NBCOUT 'Support' remains undefined, rendering the claim meaningless. But NBC remains your source for all things homosexual.

NBCOUT I have no opinion either way but I am an advocate for ”Live and Let Live” . Its Their choice and business not ours and if it makes them happy so be it!

NBCOUT Gay marriage is a cultural appropriation, given the tradition itself predates and isn't created by government. That tradition, as we know it in the west, comes from the Bible. If no-fault divorce is law (no requirements for reproduction), then civil unions should be available.

NBCOUT Read news that matters.

NBCOUT I’m firm believer that ALL people deserve the right to be miserable when married.

Alternative life style folks who can't make up their mind.

NBCOUT I don't care if gay people get married. I do care about the behavior of some gay people in public especially around children. Gay Pride is and should be an adult event. I don't want to see straight people being all sexual in public, naked or practicing their fetishes either.

NBCOUT Austria 2020 march

NBCOUT is here any American who participated in this 'Poll' let me know this news is true or not!!!!!!

NBCOUT Love is Love! Everyone should have a right to marry.

NBCOUT 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

NBCOUT Who cares...let them be miserable like every other married couple...you are on this planet for a very short time. Enjoy your life. You only get one that you can remember. Who knows you may be a turtle in the next life...get married get divorced get married again.

NBCOUT This percentage should definitely be higher, but I'm happy to see it where it is.

NBCOUT

NBCOUT Alternative life style folks who can't make up their mind.

NBCOUT Now is when the GOP acted like they didn't claim that gay marriage would destroy the fabric of the nation

NBCOUT I support same sex marriages for sure and I am straight. Why? Because there is less promiscuity, less sexually transmitted diseases, less gay men pretending to be straight. Less gay men marrying straight women which is hell under pretense.

NBCOUT 70% could be wrong

NBCOUT Ridiculous.God doesn't Support it. 70%just shows you how many People don't believe in God.Didn't God Destroy the City of Sodom and Gomorrah because they wouldn't stop their Homosexual Behavior. It's the Same God People.There's just a lot more Evil and Corruption in the World Now

NBCOUT CHOICE is a Human BIRTHRIGHT. SEXUAL PREFERENCE is the Human RIGHT to CHOOSE.

NBCOUT Well known Soros' poll..

NBCOUT Maybe you forgot. It's legal now.

NBCOUT 30% of this country is just irredeemably awful

NBCOUT gay divorce court is going to be 🔥

NBCOUT I don't understand why they do that 🤮 that is so much dirty 😔 this not civilization we are not animals, even animals they don't do that

NBCOUT I would bet 70% of Americans support most socially liberal ideas. Unfortunately the 30% include many that derive no benefit from any change and hold a disproportionate amount of power.

NBCOUT Lies

NBCOUT Bet the 30% that dont arent gay anf want 'small government that stays out of people's lives.' Oh, and scream about religious freedom.

NBCOUT So who is the husband and who is the wife loll?

NBCOUT What the fuck is wrong with the other 30%

NBCOUT indifference doesn't equal support

NBCOUT استغفر الله

NBCOUT Now do Medicare for all!

NBCOUT Yeah people have to say they support it or face having their lives ruined.

NBCOUT Talk to Iran

NBCOUT No one asked me

NBCOUT Fucking gross 🤢

NBCOUT Don't believe it.

NBCOUT I don’t believe that for one second. Fake news!👎

NBCOUT God had Destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah in past for the same sins Terrible.

NBCOUT Correction: 70% of people just dont give a crap who marries who

NBCOUT Most people don’t care.

NBCOUT I've never witnessed public opinion swing so far so fast on such a contentious subject. Willingness to rethink old thinking is our necessity.

NBCOUT Marriage can only be between Men & Women

NBCOUT La premiere e-Toi-le boys, boys protegera, la premiere etoile ... Mireille Matthieu sings it ... I change the words a bit here. Lol

NBCOUT be careful what u wish for ... need a reality show Gay Divorce !!!’

NBCOUT Count me out

NBCOUT And the 30%?.... trumpers

NBCOUT Thats a joke and so is the pope

NBCOUT Isn't there a chance that in 30 years or so ppl will start supporting pedophilia,because they also deserve love.

NBCOUT Who cares what other people do with their life? It amazes me how upset people get when someone does something with their own life. If you want to be mad, be mad at suicide. Focus your anger on stopping that!

NBCOUT Our diversity is what makes us beautiful and extraordinary. “If a person makes you happy, that’s who you should be with.” -Joe Biden. Joe Biden supports LGBTQ+ and believes in the rights of all people to live in a society free of hatred and discrimination.

NBCOUT Bullshit.

NBCOUT In the late 1980s and early 1990's Azerbaijan was attempting to gain independence from USSR, Armenian forces, backed by the Russian military took the territory as own. ArmeniaEndTheOccupation

NBCOUT How about a National poll? Not just California or the Eastern coast “C’mon man” smh

NBCOUT That’s why we are heading towards dooms day.

NBCOUT And so does the POPE as of yesterday

NBCOUT Kind of hilarious.

NBCOUT Amy Coney Barret would be politically suicidal to end that type of policy, thank you for pointing that out to her with great polling!

NBCOUT Maybe on the coasts, but not in middle America. One more example of selective polling.

NBCOUT

NBCOUT Yeah. Absolutely!!

NBCOUT What Was On Hunter Bidens Hard Drive? Watch This!! It Get's Really Sordid And Very Sad. Hunter_Biden

NBCOUT Ya Trump openly supports same sex marriage as well every Republican I know supports it too.

NBCOUT Then vote Dems

NBCOUT Marriage can only be between a man and woman for obvious reasons.

NBCOUT Should be 100

NBCOUT Two minds on the subject, church and state. one shouldn't encroach on the other. Agendas shouldn't be pressed into one or the other. But they seem to be more and more which creates zealots on either side of the equation. Equality under the law, religion is separate.

NBCOUT I feel sorry for the remaining 30%...the anti-happiness crew.

NBCOUT I don’t and neither does God

NBCOUT Insane disgusting

NBCOUT Marriage is defined by God as between a man and a women. You can't change God law. I prefer Civil Union for those that choose the LGBTQ Lifestyle.

NBCOUT The whole World is laughing at the US is embarrassing

NBCOUT Sadly,Mike Pence is a fan of conversion therapy. He is SICK AND TWISTED. Love is love.

NBCOUT Proud of my country to see this. There is hope for us.

NBCOUT yes they can pay divorce lawyers like the rest of us plus they make good divorce court

NBCOUT Rotten Society.

NBCOUT You don’t have to support it but you do have to respect it. If faith is your excuse, remember that at judgment day, you will answer for your own sins not others.

NBCOUT Even the Pope is jumping on the band wagon!

NBCOUT Fake news

NBCOUT What is your point? This is not a story. Let me help you: TICK, TICK, TICK BOOM! What will Biden & Obama say when the truth comes out on foreign policy corruption with Biden? Support your President Donald J. Trump until he leaves office in January of 2025!

NBCOUT WRONG

NBCOUT Ummm. It is the law you know. How about a poll on 55mph speed limits?

NBCOUT Ahh, who cares its legal now. Are you out of current issues

NBCOUT after they did the poll in the gay society.............

NBCOUT 🤣😂🤣😂 hell no!!

NBCOUT Court's support gay marriage so they can have the case's in divorce court all about money again scumbag attorneys at there Best

NBCOUT This should read 70% don’t give a shit. Another media driven issue.

NBCOUT We need a constitutional amendment to protect gay marriage equality from Barrett, Alito and Thomas... I love how Thomas in particular wants to challenge my marriage and Obergefell v. Hodges, when his 2nd marriage was itself would have been illegal before Loving v. Virginia.

NBCOUT Why are we still talking about this?

NBCOUT Except for Joe Biden, cause he’s against gay marriage. 👇👇👇

NBCOUT Gross

NBCOUT If 2016 taught me anything it’s polls don’t represent the majority of Americans. With that being said I support doing whatever makes you happy as long as it doesn’t infringe my rights.

NBCOUT Everyone has the right to be miserable in marriage!

NBCOUT And I would assume that the 30% who oppose same-sex marriage are haters and evangelicals. Oh... wait... Evangelicals are haters!

NBCOUT

NBCOUT Does that mean there are only 2 genders?

NBCOUT It is not in dispute. No one is trying to take it away.

NBCOUT After 2 husbands my baby girl finally found lasting love with her wife. Her wife is a much better 'father' to my 4 precious grandchildren. I fought hard to keep my baby alive. I will fight as hard to keep her happy. Word of advise ... Don't mess with this mama's baby girl.

NBCOUT Definitely not me or my family!

NBCOUT I'm delighted to hear that. However, I question the methodology used in their polling process.

NBCOUT Consider me one of the proud 30 percent of REAL Americans who believe marriage is between a MAN and WOMAN!

NBCOUT Don't really care either way, just tired of constantly hearing about it.

NBCOUT 70% of nbcs America

NBCOUT Fine - and that 70% can follow what they want... BUT 70% does NOT take MY rights away!!

NBCOUT

NBCOUT I thought it would be higher......we are still so backwards!

NBCOUT Support for Amy Coney Barret 30% senatemajldr

NBCOUT Jesus is Real....all I'm gonna say...✌

NBCOUT 👏👏👏

NBCOUT The other 30% should just shut up and mind their own damn business.

NBCOUT Depends on what you mean support. I mean stiffie ? No. But casual relaxed, sure no problem. Watching balloons pop with confetti in them ? Maybe, because that's fun. But melting butter in a saucepan ? He'll no.

NBCOUT And 30% support Donald Trump and identity as Evangelical Christians. Not a coincidence.

NBCOUT ProudBoys

NBCOUT Contact with fecal matter is the leading cause of disease spread. What happens behind closed doors impacts public health

NBCOUT My voice is ' EVERYONE has the right to be happy '

NBCOUT Keep using pictures like that to make us seem so other and I’m sure it’ll be lower. 😒

NBCOUT The Venn diagram of the 30% that don’t and Trump supporters looks something like this: ⭕️

NBCOUT

NBCOUT WSJ Editorial Board: Joe Biden Must Answer Questions About Hunter Biden and China via BreitbartNews

NBCOUT In Canada we just call it marriage

NBCOUT They have every right to be just as miserable as the rest of us.

NBCOUT love is love!!!

NBCOUT As we fucking should be & it’s a disgrace that 30% are against marrying the person you love.

NBCOUT Damn straight! Love is love is love. I am happy for anyone that knows the power and feelings only love can give you! ❤️❤️

NBCOUT C’mon people! loveislove

NBCOUT What Ok

NBCOUT That’s still too low
