According to a recent Zogby International poll, 69 percent of Massachusetts voters want to vote on a constitutional amendment to keep the traditional definition of marriage, the Coalition for Marriage announced Jan. 8.
Though only a state-wide survey, the Zogby poll results confirm other surveys in the United States in which the majority of Americans said they want marriage to remain as the union of one man and one woman.
A New York Times/CBS News national poll, conducted Dec. 10-13, indicated that 61 percent of Americans opposed same-sex marriage, and 55 percent favored an amendment to the United States Constitution that would allow marriage only between a man and a woman.
Less than one week later, a USA Today/CNN poll, conducted Dec. 15-16, showed that 65 percent of Americans think marriages between homosexuals should not be legal.
