The majority of voters are going to vote in the following ways:
1. The same party they have always voted for
2. The candidate they think will make their lives better, regardless of whether the candidate will or not
3. Whoever they like better, based far more on charisma then actual facts

Same sex marriage is now a done deal and it was never the hot button issue that would make the average voter change their vote over. It is only the very vocal political minorities on both sides that think it remains a hot button issue. I'm fairly certain that when the vast majority of the country heard about the decision, they went "that's nice" and returned to their reality show or wondering how they are going to pay this month's bills.
