Poll: 2/3 of New Jersey Not as Bigoted as Arkansas, But Still Cling to Heterosexual Privilege
Narrow majority in NJ favors gay marriage
New Jersey voters remain evenly divided about whether gay couples should be given the right to marry in the state, according to a poll released today.
Voters are clearly comfortable, however, with something the state already does: allow gay couples to join in civil unions, which offer the legal benefits of marriage, but not the title. According to the Rutgers-Eagleton Poll, two-thirds of poll respondents said they favor civil unions.
. . .
Overall, 48 percent of the adults who responded favored gay marriage, while 44 percent opposed it.
Nearly three in five people between 18 and 29 favor gay marriage, compared with about half of voters between 30 and 64, and one-third of those over 65.
