More than two-thirds of Catholics and an overwhelming majority of Democrats support gay unions, a new New York Times/CBS News poll found.
According to the nationwide poll, 63 percent of Americans support recognizing gay and lesbian couples with either marriage (39%) or civil unions (24%). Thirty-two percent said there should be no recognition and 5 percent gave no opinion.
The survey, released Tuesday, is based on 1,197 telephone interviews conducted between February 8-13 on land lines and cellphones. Forty-four percent of Catholics surveyed favored marriage, and 25 percent preferred civil unions. Twenty-four percent said gay couples should not be recognized by the government.
