On June 24, the Supreme Court is expected to announce its decision on the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), which defines marriage as between a man and a woman.

In a recent poll by the Huffington Post, most Americans under 30-years-old approve that the federal government should recognize gay and lesbian marriages. The margin was 52 percent to 37 percent.

Americans over the age of 65, however, say that the federal government should not do so, by 55 percent to 33 percent.

The similar age split also came on the question of whether the Supreme Court should overturn DOMA.

Sixty-five percent of Democrats who participated in the HP poll said the federal government should recognize same-sex marriage, while independents were evenly divided, 42 percent to 44 percent.

The vast majority of Republicans said the federal government should not recognize those marriages, by 73 percent to 19 percent.

Despite all the media coverage on the issue, however, specifically the DOMA Challenge, most Americans have not been following the Supreme Court case closely, according to the poll.

Only 22 percent said they’ve heard a lot about the DOMA challenge, with another 48 percent saying they’ve heard little, with almost one third or 30 percent saying they’ve heard nothing at all about the issue.

A CNN/ORC poll held in March found a similar divide on DOMA being struck down by the Supreme Court.

The March poll showed 43 percent of Americans do not favor recognizing same-sex marriage, while 56 percent say it should recognize such marriages.

The poll by the Huffington Post was conducted with YouGov. It was conducted May 30-31 among 1,000 adults using a sample selected from YouGov’s opt-in online panel to match the demographics and other characteristics of the adult U.S. population.
