In a poll released by YouGov shows that 54% of the public support the legislation to legalise "gay marriage" to 37% who oppose it, 9% said they didn't know or registered no opinion. However when the question is put by party voters the Conservatives are pretty much split over it. With 45% supporting the Prime Minister's stance, 48% opposing it and 6% saying they didn't know.
When Labour voters were asked the majority of their voters are in favour with 57% saying they support it, 31% saying they oppose it with 12% saying they didn't know. Not surprisingly people who say they're Liberal Democrat voters are most in favour with 72% saying they support it, 24% saying they oppose it and 5% saying they didn't know. The party whos voters are most opposed is the United Kingdom Independence Party with only 38% saying they're in support 53% saying they oppose it and 9% saying they don't know.
As the bill returns to the Commons today YouGov also asked "David Cameron has pledged to fully legalise gay marriage. Do you think this is because...he genuinely believes its the right thing to do" which 25% agree with that statement or "he doesn't believe it is right, but is doing it for political reasons" which 59% agreed with, 16% said they didn't know. Like the first question it was also asked by party voters for Conservative voters 42% think he is doing it as he genuinely believes in it 41% think he doesn't believe in it 17% said they don't know.
The other parties voters don't believe that David Cameron genuinely believes in it. Labour voters think 19% think he does believe in it 65% think he doesn't and 16% say they don't know. Out of the Liberal Democrat voters are more trusting of the Prime Minister with 37% saying they think Mr Cameron genuinely believes in gay marriage 51% think he doesn't believe in it and 11% say they don't know. UKIP voters really don't trust David Cameron on gay marriage only 15% think he genuinely believes in it, 75% say he doesn't believe in it and 10% say they don't know.
