You are picking the polls that agree with you and skipping over the ones that disagree including the OP, one poll does not discredit the other, especially when some of these polls are state polls while others are National, and when someone of them specifically poll registered voters and others dont, and when one poll specifically says they didnt poll people who had previously been apart of the poll.
You can only claim support has declined when a person who was previously for it, has changed their mind and is now against it.
By your own logic, this poll(Vandy) didnt follow its own definition of decline.
It is not complicated. Before more than half of Americans supported it, and now less than half support it.
The 2016 presidental candidates need to take this into account before going all in with LGBT crowd like Hillary did.

There are polls that completely disagree with you, including Gallup, Quinnipiac(sp?), WSJ, CNN/ORC, and many others. There seem to be more who say it is growing than say it is shrinking.
You are letting your personal opinion of the matter cloud your better judgement. Im not even claiming that it is falling or growing, only that the polling is clearly not as one sided as you have claimed. Heck, the OP of this article even includes a poll and you completely ignored that because it disagrees with your own personal philosophy.
Gays do not want to settle for a civil union. They don't want to accept the word of God that Homosexuality is wrong,but they want to change what GOD says is the definition of marriage. This is dangerous territory for America if the majority supports gay marriage.
They seek acceptance for their deviance. It would make them feel less tormented or so they think. It will never be "marriage" and always "gay marriage", two entirely different things.
Everyone that knows anything about polls and studies know that they say what the agency/organization or individual want them to say. Seriously, having someone ask you on the street if you approve of gay marriage and you saying no could get your business shutdown or you could suffer an act of violence against yourself or others so many would be too fearful of not saying that they support it. As the news shows, the LGBT community can be very aggressive to people of faith or to anyone that refuses to give them moral support.
But the poll was also remarkable for showing a rather dramatic drop in support for gay marriage in one year, after years of uninterrupted rises. Do you favor “allowing gays and lesbians to marry legally” is an imperfect question, but it does allow tracking across time. Overall support for gay marriage dropped from 54 percent to 49 percent.

Funny thing is, wherever gay marriage has become the law, it's called marriage within months and nobody cares.
They don't because it don't really travel to other states, and don't provide the same rights as a marriage does under the law. That is the problem. It is separate but equal 2015.
You are misunderstanding my point. There is no such thing in the US as a separate marriage category for gay people. There is only marriage. And in the US, *all* marriages are already civil unions.
edited to add - Ironically, people who urge "civil unions" for gays as opposed to real "marriage" are urging that gay people should be married. Because it is the *same damn* thing.

How, exactly, are gays supposed to "settle" for civil unions when they were banned for gays in most states?
I'm pretty sure that the bible wasn't written in English, so the word "marriage" did not appear in the original. Maybe you should use the original Hebrew word for your union.
