Highlights:
61% support, 35% oppose.

Compare this to 2005, when 58% opposed and only 39% supported.
For the Under-30 crowd, they went from 57% support in 2005 to 78% support today.
65+ers went from 18% support in 2005 to 46% support today.

Support has risen by double-digits among all partisan groups, but Democrats and Indies have shifted the most.
60% of GOPers oppose it, with 71% of self-identified conservative Republicans opposing.
Majorities of Democrats, Indies, and every age group under 65 support SSM.

61% oppose allowing states to prohibit SSM, and 62% say states should recognize SSMs registered in other states.

At least 40% "strongly" support SSM.

The Supreme Court is set to hear opening oral arguments on whether state restrictions on SSM are unconstitutional next week, with a decision expected in June.
