1. A strong majority of California voters — 61 percent — now supports allowing same-sex couples to get married in the state, the Mercury News reports, citing a new Field Poll. The support for gay marriage is the highest ever recorded in a state poll, and represents a major shift in the public’s attitude since state residents voted in 2008 for Prop 8, California’s anti-gay-marriage law. The poll results also show that if the US Supreme Court decides this year to uphold Prop 8, then state voters appear ready to overturn the measure at the ballot box.
