A Wall Street Journal/NBC poll finds that 50 percent of voters favor repealing the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy toward gays in the military, while 38 percent favor keeping the policy. That’s a far cry from the much cited CNN poll earlier this year, which found that 78 percent of all adults favor repeal. Meanwhile, a new Quinnipiac poll shows that 58 percent of registered voters favor repeal.

A Quinnipiac poll earlier this year found voters to be much more ambivalent about the actual implications of repealing DADT: voters were split 46% to 45% when asked if straight and openly gay troops should be required to live in the same facilities.
