PRINCETON, N.J., May 8 (UPI) -- Half of Americans say they believe same-sex marriages should be legally recognized as valid, a Gallup poll released Tuesday indicated.
The results, based on Gallup's annual Values and Beliefs poll, are down slightly from 53 percent last year, but mark the second time in Gallup's history of tracking the same-sex marriage question that at least 50 percent of Americans support legal gay marriages. Forty-eight percent said same-sex marriages should not be legal.
