According to most polls, a majority of Americans now support marriage equality. But it turns out
that's not the only good news to be gleaned:
The national trend using all surveys asking opinions on same-sex marriage also suggests that the majority of Americans now supports same-sex marriage. In fact, in the past year, the change in support has increased more rapidly than ever. [...]
This has important implications for where public opinion is headed. If the stable linear trend were the right one, then by 2016 just over 56 percent of the public would be expected to support same-sex marriage. However, the accelerated trend predicts that support for same-sex marriage will be about 5 points higher by 2016. It is appropriate to infer that opinions are trending positively and changing exponentially as time goes on.
Flores also suggests that the change is too rapid to be taking place due to generational shifts—it has to be happening because previous opponents are changing their minds. And that might be the best news of all.
