The January 2015, AP-GfK poll reported both expected and unexpected news about the public’s views on same-sex marriage.

Expected news: More adults favor legalizing same-sex marriage in their state, although just barely (44% favor to 39% oppose).

Unexpected-and hardly reported-news:

* More people said yes (57%) than no (39%) to this question: “In states where same-sex couples can be married legally, do you think that wedding-related businesses with religious objections should be allowed to refuse service to same-sex couples, or not?”

* More people said yes (50%) than no (46%) to the idea that state and local officials who issue marriage licenses but who have religious objections to same-sex marriage should be exempt from having to issue those licenses.
