73% would vote “Yes” in marriage equality referendum

The country is expected to go to the polls on May 22nd when they'll be asked to vote in the marriage equality referendum.

According to the new survey, if the ballot was held today, an over-whelming majority of 73 per cent would say “yes”. 

However, 22 per cent of people would say “No”, while a further 5 per cent don't know how they feel about it.

The Behaviour & Attitudes poll, which appears in today's Sunday Times, interviewed almost a thousand adults between Monday the 2nd of March and last Wednesday. 

Brian Sheehan, from “Yes Equality”, says campaigners need to make sure they don't become complacent after today's result.
