According to a new USA Today/Gallup poll released Saturday, 26 percent say Obama's support of gay marriage will make them less likely to vote for him as compared to just 13 percent who say it will make them more likely. About 60 percent of Americans say Obama's May 9th announcement will make no difference to who they will vote for. The poll also found there was a negligible difference between the number of Americans who support gay marriage in general, which is about 50 percent, and those who approve of Obama's position on the issue, 51 percent. Gallup noted that since there is a strong relationship between party identification and vote choice, a key to
