85 Percent Say Christian Photographer Has Right to Turn Down Same-Sex Wedding Job

Eighty-five percent of American adults believe if a Christian wedding photographer who has deeply held religious beliefs opposing same-sex marriage is asked to work a same-sex wedding ceremony, he has the right to say no, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey. Only 8 percent disagree -- even as the courts are hearing such challenges. The survey, which was conducted on July 7-8, 2013, has a margin of sampling error of +/- 3 percentage points with a 95 percent level of confidence.
