A poll has found an unexpectedly high number of Western Australians support marriage equality.
The poll, carried out by Paterson Market Research on behalf of the West Australian newspaper, asked 400 people if they supported or opposed “allowing gay marriage”, with 61 percent saying they did, while six percent were undecided and 33 percent were opposed.
Among people under 35, 77 percent were supporters while only 16 percent were opposed.
Women were much more likely to support same-sex marriage, with 70 percent in favour while only 52 percent of men were supporters.
The only region where opponents outnumbered supporters was rural WA, where 48 percent were against compared to 46 in favour.
