A new poll released by Public Policy Polling shows that most Minnesotans the new marriage equality law passed in 2013 has had no effect on their lives.

The poll asked, “Has the legalization of gay marriage in Minnesota had a positive or negative impact on your life, or has it not had any impact at all?”

60 percent said it has had no impact at all, 20 percent said it has had a positive impact, and 20 percent said it had a negative impact.

The poll also asked, “Do you think same-sex marriage should be
allowed in Minnesota, or not?” A majority, 52 percent support same-sex marriage, 40 percent did not. 9 percent were not sure.

Support for same-sex marriage ran across predictable party lines. 80 percent of Democrats support it, while 64 percent of Republicans oppose it.

The same was true for the impact it has had. 34 percent of Democrats said it has had a positive impact, and the same number of Republicans said it has had a negative impact.

There was no significant difference along racial lines.

Older Minnesotans were more likely to oppose the new marriage equality law. That was the only age group where a plurality opposed same-sex marriage with 49 percent. The age group most in support of the new law was 30-45 years old with 61 percent in support. 18-29 age group supported it with 52 percent, and the 46-65 age group supported the new law with a plurality of 48 percent to 41 percent.
