A new poll finds that Connecticut voters back gay marriage.

Interestingly:

“Connecticut voters are not in love with same-sex marriage,” said poll director Douglas Schwartz. “But four out of five voters support some legal recognition for same-sex unions and by almost two-to-one, voters do not want to change the state constitution to ban same-sex marriage.”

Given three choices, 43 percent of voters agree same-sex couples should be allowed to marry, while 39 percent support civil unions and 12 percent oppose any legal recognition.
