Some 59 percent of blacks (who took the poll) say they support the president’s stance on gay marriage and believe it should be legalized.

Another poll released by Public Policy Polling also delivered similar results.
Despite the recently released research, some still believe that African Americans will generally remain traditional on this topic and will not condone gay marriage. And Obama’s “coming out,” critics say, will not dramatically alter black opinions on homosexuality.
