Gallup Shows Same-Sex Marriage Support Declining; CBS Fires Scott Pelley
A new Gallup poll shows U.S. support for same-sex marriage has dropped to approximately 65%, down from 71% in 2022-2023, with notable declines among Republicans. CBS News has terminated veteran journalist Scott Pelley following his public criticism of network leadership at a staff meeting. Primary election results from California and Iowa are still being tallied, with Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass securing a runoff spot.
Progressive outlets frame the polling decline as a concerning regression in LGBTQ+ rights acceptance, potentially linked to increased political polarization and conservative policy efforts targeting LGBTQ+ communities.
