Poll: Majority of Latinos favor same-sex marriage

MIAMI — A new poll from NBC Latino/IBOPE Zogby released Wednesday finds that 60 percent of Latinos surveyed support same-sex marriage equality.

The survey says 6 out of 10 Latinos in the sample agree that same-sex couples have the right to marry. Thirty eight percent said they disagree and 31 percent said they did so strongly.

The statistics don’t mean there is complete acceptance of gays by Latinos, however.
