In the first poll to emerge after President Obama announced his support for same-sex marriage, a majority of Americans say it will make no difference on how they vote in November. According to a Gallup/USA Today poll released Friday, 6 in 10 Americans said his support for same-sex marriage would not make a difference on how they vote, and 51 percent said they approved of his position on the issue.

More than half of independents, that sought-after voting group, expressed approval of the president's position, even though 63 percent said their vote would not be swayed by his announcement. Nearly a quarter of independents said they were less likely to vote for him, while about 1 in 10 said they were more likely to vote for him because of his support of gay marriage.
