RE: Alternative headline: support for legalizing gay marriage has declined.
Are you telling us that support for legalizing gay marriage used to be HIGHER than half before?
It’s in the very 1st sentence. Support has dropped from 53% to 50% since last year. Not a big drop ... and probably w/in the MOE ... but a decrease nonetheless.
Yes. Look at the chart, it was higher in 2011. It declined in 2012.
