New poll shows record high support for marriage in New York
April 11, 2011
Support for the freedom to marry in New York continues to grow with a new Sienna poll showing that a super-majority of 58% of New Yorkers polled supporting marriage. Only 38% of those polled opposed ending marriage discrimination.
In response to the new poll numbers, Freedom to Marry’s President Evan Wolfson made the following statement:
This latest poll reporting that a super-majority of New Yorkers supports the freedom to marry shows New Yorkers get it. Now it's time for the state Senate to do it.New Yorkers understand that ending marriage discrimination helps families while hurting no one, that New York needs to lead in treating all people fairly. Freedom to Marry is working closely with Governor Cuomo, legislative leaders, and our partner organizations to end marriage discrimination here this spring, and whether through phone calls, legislative visits, or conversations that prompt more people to take action, now is the time for everyone to pitch in and win New York.
