Majority of Americans support same-sex marriage: poll - NY Daily News The numbers in these polls continue to rise. one taken shortly after obama's support for SSM put us around 51%. I don't know what the margin of error is for these polls, so it should be taken with a grain of salt, but if that trend continues, we will be in a good place. I have always wanted it to see it around 58-62%, since most margins of error in scientific polls are around 3-5%. I think it is also a reminder that true leadership is not simply being a sheep following the flock of your crowds opinion, but instead being willing to stand up for whats right, even if to do so comes with risks of going against. A leader 'leads', not follows, and Obama is one of the first presidents to do that in a while. I think his leadership on this issue really is having a positive impact for civil rights and american history.
