Hi Tumblr comics fans,

More Americans than ever before support marriage equality, according to a new ABC News/Washington Post poll.

The poll shows 53 percent of Americans support same-sex couples’ right to marry, higher than that number has ever been. Likewise, fewer people than ever oppose marriage equality - only 39 percent. 

Of course, this does not mean we should expect sweeping changes in marriage equality laws:

In all 30 states where voters have been asked to approve or reject same-sex marriage, they have rejected it. In places where it is legal — six states and the District — it was made so by an act of the state legislature or the courts.

Americans divide about evenly — 49 to 46 percent — on whether gay-marriage laws should be made at the state or federal level. Most backers of same-sex marriage support a federal approach, while opponents prefer letting states decide. That is a stark shift from 2004, when a CBS News-New York Times poll found widespread support for federal authority over gay marriage among its opponents, not its supporters.
