Banter #97: Changing views on same-sex marriage

Apr9th
2013 Leave a Comment Written by Andrew

On the latest episode of Banter, we delve into what Americans really think about same-sex marriage. AEI’s own Karlyn Bowman and Jennifer Marsico sit in to discuss the often contradictory nature of the public’s views. For example, at least a plurality of Americans support same-sex marriage, yet they also favor a constitutional amendment to define marriage as between a man and a women. Go figure. No one said untangling the web of opinions was going to be easy. We also discuss how views have changed over the last several years, if attitudes will continue to change, and how homosexuality compares to other social issues. Enjoy!

2013 2 Comments Written by Stu

In the latest episode of AEI’s Banter podcast, Stu and Andrew sit down with friend-of-the-show Daniel Cox of the Public Religion Research Institute to discuss religion, sports, and America. Their latest poll shows that about 3-in-10 (27%) Americans believe that God plays a role in determining which team wins a sporting event. What does this say about how Americans practice their religion? What kind of God do Americans believe in? Where do most Americans spend their Sunday, at church or watching football? We talk about all this and more. As a bonus, we sit down with Josh Good and Greg Lane of the Values and Capitalism project and talk about their upcoming events.  Enjoy!

In the latest episode of the Banter podcast, Daniel Cox of the Public Religion Research Institute comes on to explore all the juicy data of a newly released poll on the millennial generation. Millennials are an extraordinarily diverse generation and their views on a lot of issues escape easy classification. Daniel paints a detailed picture for us of their views on religion, political ideology, social issues, life outlook, economic inequality, and more. The most surprising nugget of data? Half of them currently live at home. Also in this episode, Andrew admits to Stu, with mixed feelings, that he’s finally joined Twitter.

In the latest episode of Banter, Steve Shepard of the National Journal sits down with hosts Stu James and Andrew Rugg to go over what the polls are showing in the wake of Super Tuesday. Steve gives us a state by state, demographic by demographic blow of the race so far and what things look like for Mitt, Rick, Newt and Ron in the next few weeks. Stu plays referee, trying to keep Andrew and Steve grounded in some kind of reality where people don’t just speak in percentages. He mostly succeeds. Mostly.
