Full Survey Results

In April 2013, The Williams Institute published a report that provides insights into public support for same-sex marriage in the U.S. by analyzing demographic data and over ten national surveys conducted between 2011 and 2012 from sources like PEW, CNN, and ABC. Their approach offers a reliable estimation of public opinion trends across the states during this time frame.
