<p>Support for same-sex marriage has reached a new national high, but there are some &#8220;final holdouts to the opposition&#8221; — Americans who attend church weekly, Gallup polling released Thursday shows.</p>
<p>&#8220;Do you think marriages between same-sex couples should or should not be recognized by the law as valid, with the same rights as traditional marriages?&#8221; Gallup asked Americans in a <a href="https://news.gallup.com/poll/393197/same-sex-marriage-support-inches-new-high.aspx?utm_source=newsletter&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=newsletter_axiospm&amp;stream=top">poll</a> conducted between May 2 and May 22.</p>
<p>That polling found that 71% of Americans support &#8220;legal same-sex marriage,&#8221; the polling organization said, a number that exceeds record-high support (70%) Gallup recorded in 2021.</p>
<p>According to Gallup, when the organization began polling on the issue in 1996, only 27% of the public supported legalizing same-sex marriage. Support reached the majority level in 2011, then 60% one month before the Supreme Court decision legalizing gay marriage in 2015, and then escalated to 70% in 2021.</p>
<p>&#8220;Rising national support for legal same-sex marriage reflects steady increases among most subgroups of the population, even those who have traditionally been the most resistant to gay marriage,&#8221; Gallup said in a release. &#8220;Adults aged 65 and older, for example, <a href="https://news.gallup.com/poll/191645/americans-support-gay-marriage-remains-high.aspx">became mostly supportive in 2016</a> &#8212; as did <a href="https://news.gallup.com/poll/210566/support-gay-marriage-edges-new-high.aspx">Protestants in 2017</a> and <a href="https://news.gallup.com/poll/350486/record-high-support-same-sex-marriage.aspx">Republicans in 2021</a>.&#8221;</p>
<p>Americans who rarely or never go to church have been the most supportive of same-sex marriage since the issue first entered the national discussion, Gallup noted.</p>
<p>Those who attend church weekly are &#8220;the final holdouts of opposition,&#8221; according to Gallup: 58% of Americans who report that they attend church weekly oppose same-sex marriage, while 40% of that group are in favor.</p>
<p>&#8220;As Gallup&#8217;s trend on support for legal same-sex marriage inches ever upward, the question is when it will reach its ceiling,&#8221; Gallup writer Justin McCarthy notes. &#8220;While support has typically increased by small percentages on an annual basis &#8212; often within the margin of error &#8212; cumulatively, the increases have produced a transformation in U.S. attitudes on an issue Americans once vehemently opposed.&#8221;</p>
<p>McCarthy drew on the claims of pro-abortion activists who insist that Supreme Court justices may &#8220;clear a path for the conservative-leaning court to also overturn <i>Obergefell,&#8221; </i>drawing on the leaked draft opinion suggesting the likely overturning of <em>Roe v. Wade</em>.</p>
<p>The draft document, which is not final, says <em>Roe v. Wade</em> was egregiously wrong.</p>
<p>“We hold that <i>Roe</i> and <i>Casey</i> must be overruled,” Justice Samuel Alito wrote. “It is time to heed the Constitution and return the issue of abortion to the people’s elected representatives.”</p>
<p>Gallup <a href="https://www.gallup.com/175307/gallup-poll-social-series-methodology.aspx">polls</a> a minimum of 1,000 adults aged 18 and older across the United States via landline and cellphone with a minimum quota of 70% cellphone respondents and 30% landline respondents.</p>
