As Americans await the Supreme Court’s ruling on same-sex marriage, a new PRRI poll shows that 65 percent of the public believes that SCOTUS will overturn state bans preventing same-sex couples from marrying, making such unions legal nationwide. An Associated Press article—picked up by the New York Times, among others—summarizes the results of the new PRRI poll, including the following key conclusion:

Mirroring the findings of several other recent national polls, the new survey found 55 percent of Americans in favor of allowing gay and lesbian couples to marry legally, and 37 percent opposed.

Another key finding noted in the article was the varying levels of support for same-sex marriage among religious groups:

The survey found sharp divisions over same-sex marriage along religious lines. Majorities of religiously unaffiliated Americans (79 percent), white mainline Protestants (60 percent) and Catholics (58 percent) favor allowing gay and lesbian couples to marry. But gay marriage was supported by only 29 percent of white evangelical Protestants and 35 percent of nonwhite Protestants.
