FLORIDA: Majority Support Marriage

From a new Quinnipiac poll:

Florida voters support 56 - 39 percent allowing same-sex couples to marry, with 57 - 39 percent support among women and 55 - 40 percent backing among men. Support is 65 - 31 percent among Democrats and 64 - 30 percent among independent voters, with Republicans opposed 64 - 32 percent. Every age group supports same-sex marriage except voters over 65 years old, who are divided with 45 percent in favor and 49 percent opposed.

Florida's Amendment 2 passed in 2008 with 62% of the vote. The poll released this week also shows that former Gov. Charlie Crist now has a ten point lead over Gov. Rick Scott.
