Favor Dips For Obama After Gay Rights Speech

05.15.12 | Sarah Harnisch

President Obama's favor has dropped among American voters since he announced his support for gay marriage. A new CBS News/New York Times survey poll gives Mitt Romney 46-percent support to Obama's 43-percent. In the same poll last month, before the President gave his vocal support of gay marriage, Obama and Romney were tied with 46-percent support each.
