Majority of Iowans oppose constitutional ban on same-sex marriage


A new poll shows that 56 percent of Iowa voters oppose a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage.

The Des Moines Register's Iowa Poll says 56 percent of those polled earlier this month were against the proposed amendment. The poll says 38 percent favored the idea, while 6 percent weren't sure.

A year ago, 40 percent of those surveyed supported an amendment, while 54 percent were opposed.

As opposition trends further downward, clearly, the future is clear on this issue.

It has been almost three years since the Iowa Supreme Court unanimously ruled that the state’s constitution guarantees marriage equality, and the Iowa Senate has blocked any efforts to define marriage as only a union between one man and one woman.
