Opinion polls have continually shown more and more Americans support marriage equality—a majority now, in fact.

But an upsetting new poll reveals that a majority of people in this country actually disapprove of the recent SCOTUS ruling on same-sex marriage.

The survey, conducted by Associated Press-GfK,  revealed that 41% of respondents disapproved of the high court’s ruling, while 39% approved.

A slim margin, especially when 18% were undecided, but disappointing nonetheless.

The news gets worse from there:

* 56% of respondents said it’s more important for the government to protect religious liberties than LGBT equality. (39% said it’s more important to protect the rights of gays.)

* Broken down by party affiliation, Democrats said it was more important for the government to protect gay rights, 64% to to 32%. Republicans said  religious liberties was more important than gay rights, 82%-17%. (Real shocker there.)

* 59% says wedding-related businesses should be allowed to deny services to same-sex couples.

* 46% said businesses in general should be allowed to discriminate against gays on religious grounds.

Oddly, those polled approved of marriage equality in their own state, 42% to 40%.
