Contributing sentiments towards policy:

51% : While more than two-thirds of Americans still support same-sex marriage, approval among Republicans has dipped to 46 percent.
41% : Legal experts also speculate whether the Supreme Court's emboldened conservative majority might overturn the 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges decision legalizing same-sex marriage on the same grounds it used to overturn Roe v. Wade -- though some justices have sought to discourage such predictions.
38% : Also troubling is the apparent backsliding in the United States, nine years after the Supreme Court struck down state bans against same-sex marriages.
37% : That downward trend in Republican support might be linked to conservative politicians, such as Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who have pushed discriminatory laws against teaching about sexual orientation in public schools and tried to curtail the rights of transgender people.
