Yet another issue where the Republican base is dragging down GOP candidates like dead weight in a general election.
Fully 63 percent of Republicans disagree with the Supreme Court's ruling on same-sex marriage in a new Reuters/Ipsos poll.
That could give a boost to gay marriage opponents like Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, Senator Ted Cruz of Texas and former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee in the fight for the Republican nomination.
Walker, whose is widely expected to declare his candidacy next week, described the Supreme Court ruling as a "grave mistake," and has called for a constitutional amendment to allow states to decide whether to allow gay marriage.
Good luck with that in the general election, where
60 percent of voters now support marriage equality. Good luck winning over millennials.
Taking antiquated positions against treating taxpaying American citizens equally may sell in the GOP primary. But it's a nonstarter among independents and swing voters.
