According to a Public Policy Polling (PPP) survey of 1,071 Wisconsin voters conducted from March 6-8, 82 percent said that marriage equality – which came to the state in October – has either had no impact or a positive impact on their lives. Only 18 percent of respondents said that their lives were negatively impacted by gay couples marrying.
