58% percent of Americans now favor gay marriage

as one can read in this just up Washington Post story.
Her's the first paragraph:
Public support for gay marriage has hit a new high as Americans increasingly see homosexuality not as a choice but as a way some people are, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll
Some key findings from the poll:
should be legal  58-37 (versus  37-55 in 2003).
Should be left up to state versus decided on basis of US Constitution:  33-64
And this is CRITICAL:
Q: Do you think being homosexual is something that people choose to be, or do you think it's just the way they are?The results?  Something people choose  24%
                    Just the way they are        62%
