A new survey from Democratic-leaning Public Policy Polling (PPP) shows attitudes toward same-sex marriage have shifted among African-American voters in Missouri.  In the poll, conducted May 24-27, black voters now support the right of gay and lesbian couples to get married, 50-31 percent.  

While African-Americans only comprised 11-percent of the poll’s total sample of 602 voters, that still marks a decided shift since PPP’s survey in January, when black voters in Missouri opposed same-sex marriage, 25-44 percent.
