Marylanders for Marriage Equality has released a new poll today showing that a hefty majority of voters plan to support same-sex marriage when it comes up for a vote on the state's November ballot. Details follow. 

The poll, conducted by Hart Research, found that 54 percent of Marylanders plan to vote in favor of same-sex civil marriage while 40 percent of voters say they will oppose equality for their fellow LGBT citizens. 

According to Hart Research:

In addition to the 54% majority who would vote FOR marriage equality, we are also encouraged by the growing INTENSITY among supporters.

Strong “FOR” support is now 43%, strong “AGAINST” is 35% — an eight-point advantage for marriage equality. Previous polling, even those finding marriage equality with a lead, show a more EVEN divide between strong FOR and strong AGAINST voters — in March of this year it was 39% strongly or, 38% strongly against.

In a separate survey question, we asked Marylanders the importance of the marriage equality referendum. It is notable that among the near-majority of Maryland voters who rate the issue as EXTREMELY important, 66% would vote FOR marriage equality and just 33% would vote AGAINST.
