The number of Americans supporting same-sex relationships has dropped from 71 to 64 percent compared to one year ago, with more people thinking it is not morally acceptable, according to a new Gallup poll—a change driven mostly by Republicans.

The survey, Gallup’s annual Values and Beliefs poll, was conducted between May 1 and 24 among a random sample of 1,011 adults living in all 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia.

It found that Americans were less supportive of a number of issues related to sexuality and relationships, including birth control—with 88 percent of Americans finding it morally acceptable this year compared to 92 percent in 2022—and divorce, support for which dropped from 81 to 78 percent.
