CNN Poll: North-South gap on gay marriage

The actual headline says "CNN Poll: Generational gap on gay marriage," but the clearest division is between the South along with the rest of the Heartland and the ruling elites in New England, as the CNN story makes explicit:

Three states, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Iowa, currently allow same-sex marriages. A law passed by Vermont law makers that makes gay and lesbian marriages legal takes effect in the state later this year. Lawmakers in Maine and New Hampshire are close to passing a similar bill.

"It's not surprising that three Northeastern states are the first to take this step," says CNN Polling Director Keating Holland. "A majority of people who live in the Northeast say they approve of same-sex marriage. Solid majorities in the South, Midwest and West all oppose gay marriage."

Just one more good reason for letting these people go their own way without dragging us along with them.
