Poll: Slim majority of Americans support legalizing gay marriage in all 50 states: http://bit.ly/1aSsAIb

A slim majority of Americans would vote in favor of legalizing gay marriage in all 50 states, according to a Gallup poll released Monday.

While 52 percent of Americans would vote in favor of legalizing gay marriage across the country, 43 percent said they would vote against such a federal law, the poll found.

A number of groups posted more than 60 percent support for national legalization of same-sex marriage in the Gallup poll, including self-identifying liberals, those who said they subscribed to "no religion" or "rarely/never attend church," Democrats, 18- to 34-year-olds, moderates, Easterners, and Catholics.
