Married, Unmarried People See Candidates Differently
MALVEAUX: It's a policy that's been three years in the making. Now the Episcopal church has become the nation's largest Christian denomination to offer religious blessings to same sex couples. But despite a vote overwhelmingly in favor of the change, there are church members on the opposite side of the issue.</s>REV. NATHAN D. BAXTER, EPISCOPAL DIOCESE OF CENTRAL PA. BISHOP: The fact is that the church is not of one mind. And Christians of good will and good conscience come down on different sides of this issue. But by taking an official stand like this, by providing a liturgical (ph) right, we've essentially moved forward in a direction that is not affirmed by a significant number, probably a minority, but nonetheless a significant number in our own church, and is also looked upon with some horror by Christians around the world.</s>RT. REV. EDWARD S. LITTLE II, EPISCOPAL DIOCESE OF N. INDIANA BISHOP: The intention in this service is to be a right for witnessing and blessing same gender or same sex commitment.</s>MALVEAUX: The family of the Florida A&M; drum major who died after a hazing attack, well, now they're suing the school. Robert Champion, he died, you might recall, last November. The lawsuit claims that the school failed to take action to stop the hazing. According to court documents, the campus police chief recommended that the band be suspended for hazing three days before Champion died. Eleven of the school band members face felony hazing charges. So we've all heard the term not as good as the paper it's printed on. Unfortunately, that's actually true for some teachers' licenses. We're talking about Tennessee, Arkansas, as well as Mississippi. Prosecutors, they are blaming this man, Clarence Mumford. He was indicted on federal charges for allegedly helping an unknown number of teachers cheat on their licensing exams. Authorities say the teachers paid him as much as $3,000 to find someone else to take the exams for them. The alleged scheme dates back to 1995. Married or single? The answer may help you predict who you're going to pick for president. That's right. A new poll showing married and unmarried voters do not see eye to eye when it comes to candidates. We'll bring in Paul Steinhauser. OK, Paul, what does this mean? Married or single? Who are you going to go for?</s>PAUL STEINHAUSER, CNN DEPUTY POLITICAL DIRECTOR: Suzanne, we've heard a lot about the gender gap in the race for the White House, the generational divide, but, yes, there is a marriage gap. It is alive and well. A new Quinnipiac poll points to it. Take a look at these numbers here from this brand new national survey. You can see among those people who are married, a big, big advantage for Mitt Romney, 13 points over President Barack Obama. But among unmarried people, a 20-point advantage for the president over those -- over Mitt Romney. Suzanne, first of all, this is nothing new. We've seen this for a long time. Other polls indicate this. We saw it in the last couple elections. Unmarried people tend to go for the Democratic candidate. Married people tend to go for the Republican. Why? Unmarried people are usually younger and often vote more Democratic. Married people tend to be a little older and more socially conservative. Interesting stuff here. Again, not new, but definitely worth pointing out because it has not been getting a lot of attention.</s>MALVEAUX: Fascinating. Tell us about the race, over all, when you take a look at the big picture, where these two stand.</s>STEINHAUSER: I'll sound like a broken record. I'm sorry.</s>MALVEAUX: That makes it so interesting. All right. Thanks, Paul. Imagine if your boss tells you he or she is cutting your pay, slicing it down to minimum wage. You'd probably be upset. That is happening in one Pennsylvania City. We'll take you there.
