Nearly 6 in 10 likely voters would be more likely to support a presidential candidate who favors state marriage-protection amendments, according to a poll commissioned by the Family Research Council (FRC).
The national survey was conducted by Wilson Research Strategies and demonstrates that marriage is an issue many American voters care deeply about.
Three-quarters of Republicans and 47 percent of Democrats said they "would be more likely to vote for a presidential candidate" who supports measures on the November ballot that would define marriage as the union of one man and one woman.
The poll results were released ahead of an FRC panel discussion on same-sex "marriage" and religious liberties.
"This whole attempted institution of same-sex 'marriage' is on a collision course with traditional Christian views and values," said Benjamin Bull, chief counsel for the Alliance Defense Fund.
