2003 religion poll
• Hodgepodge
Peter Steinfels writing in the New York Times:
Although 53 percent of the sample continued to oppose gay marriage, compared with 38 percent in favor, that opposition has declined from 65 percent seven years ago. (But a more recent Gallup poll, reported in The Washington Post on Thursday, suggested that this trend may have reversed itself somewhat since the Supreme Court's ruling on June 26 striking down a Texas antisodomy law.) ...
Less frequently noted in news reports was the finding that few Americans were distressed at political leaders' God-talk. In fact, the poll's sponsors point out, "nearly twice as many say there has been too little reference to religious faith and prayer by politicians (41 percent) than say there has been too much (21 percent)."
