I believe that of the 76% only around 12 states approved it by vote of the people or act of their legislatures. The remainder was the result of Judicial Action. Good example being the ultra conservative State of California where it was banned by vote of the people but imposed by the Courts.
CA only passed prop. 8 by 52% in 2008. Before that, they voted in prop. 22 by 61% in 2000. CA voters lost 9% in 8 years on the issue of ‘gay marriage.’ The states that only passed their marriage amendments in the 50-60% ranges in the middle of the last decade probably couldn’t pass them again now. If that trend remains consistent, in 15-20 years even the state that passed their amendments in the 70-80% ranges couldn’t pass them again.
