A slim majority of Connecticut voters support a recent state Supreme Court ruling to allow same-sex couples to marry, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released Wednesday.
The poll also gave U.S. Sens. Joseph Lieberman and Christopher Dodd their lowest approval ratings in the survey’s history.
Fifty-two percent said they support the Supreme Court’s gay marriage ruling, while 39 percent oppose it. Nine percent are undecided.
But voters strongly oppose amending Connecticut’s constitution to ban same-sex marriage, 61 percent to 33 percent. That had been one of the last hopes for opponents of gay marriage.
