The creep toward majority support of same-sex marriage in California continues, as a new statewide poll has found that 50 percent of residents of the Golden State now support marriage equality.

According to the Public Policy Institute of California, a majority of the state's residents are more likely to support same-sex marriage than to oppose it, with those against marriage equality at 45 percent. It is the first time a PPIC poll has found more than 45 percent support for same-sex marriage since it began asking about marriage equality in 2000.
