Probably a significant number, and more than we think:

Among Democrats:

There are probably a number of democrats who say they are pro-choice, but are actually pro-life. There are also probably some who have a greater desire to change parts of ObamaCare (either making it more liberal or more conservative) then they let on.
There are definitely a few who changed position on SSM due to "what my party/society wants me to think" or "I have to do this to get reelected." but still hold very/somewhat anti-ssm private views.

Among Republicans:

There are probably a number of SSM opponents who actually think "Well, maybe gay marriage wouldn't be so bad....", but don't dare say it.
There would also be those who believe in human-caused climate change more than they let on, and some of the 'immigration hardliners' probably only hold that position to get past Tea Party primary challengers, and don't hold it in private.
