Public Policy Polling surveyed 568 Hawaii voters from October 13 to 16, 2011, and found that when given a choice between letting same-sex couples marry or not, a plurality of 49 percent wanted same-sex marriage to be legal. Given the option of supporting civil unions, same-sex marriage won 40 percent support and civil unions gained 37 percent support.

Famous quotes containing the words public and/or opinion:
“Censure is the tax a man pays to the public for being eminent.”
—Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
“No publisher should ever express an opinion on the value of what he publishes. That is a matter entirely for the literary critic to decide.... I can quite understand how any ordinary critic would be strongly prejudiced against a work that was accompanied by a premature and unnecessary panegyric from the publisher. A publisher is simply a useful middle-man. It is not for him to anticipate the verdict of criticism.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
