- WASHINGTON (AP) -- Sixty-one percent of Americans surveyed say
- President-elect Clinton should delay his promise to lift
- restrictions on gays in the military, Newsweek reported Saturday.
-
- Support for the proposal to permit homosexuals in the armed
- forces dropped from 59 percent in August to 48 percent currently,
- said the magazine's Nov. 30 issue, which goes on sale Monday.
- That's the first time since 1977 that support to end the ban on
- homosexuals in the military has dropped below 50 percent, Newsweek
- said.
- More than half of those surveyed, 56 percent, did say gays
- should be permitted to serve in a presidential cabinet.
- The Gallup Organization interviewed 764 adults Nov. 19-20 for
- the Newsweek poll, which has a sampling error of plus or minus four
- percent.
