CONCORD, NH –
A poll released today by New Hampshire Freedom to Marry shows that 55 percent of New Hampshire voters support marriage for lesbian and gay couples, while 39 percent are opposed. The poll, conducted by UNH Survey Center, surveyed 491 New Hampshire voters from April 13 through the 22.
"New Hampshire has a live and let live attitude. These strong numbers in support of marriage equality are not surprising. A majority of New Hampshire voters have supported marriage equality since polling on the subject began in 2003. We hope that New Hampshire can soon join our neighbors in Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Vermont, and enact marriage equality," said Mo Baxley, executive director of New Hampshire Freedom To Marry.
The poll also found that 63 percent of Independent and 34 percent of Republican voters in the state support marriage for lesbian and gay couples. The poll also found that when asked only 32 percent would be "bothered" if gay and lesbians could get a marriage license.
House Bill 436, which would recognize marriage equality for lesbian and gay couples under New Hampshire law, passed the House of Representatives last month and is pending in the state Senate. Last week, a Senate committee voted 23 against the bill. A vote by the full Senate is expected on Wednesday
