The results of a new national poll won’t likely appear in your local newspaper or mainstream media outlets.   Even though the Associated Press conducted the poll, their results don’t fit the media’s narrative and celebration of the U.S. Supreme Court’s redefinition of marriage.

The new poll finds that support for same-sex marriage has dropped nine points since April to 34 percent, while opposition is up four points to 34 percent.  America is split right down the middle on this matter.

Here’s one that Hoosier politicians should take note of as well. When such conflicts arise, 56 percent of Americans believe that the government should protect religious liberty rights over the desires of homosexualsSo much for the RFRA “fix” rushed through the Indiana legislature and signed by the Governor implying just the opposite!
