World News Clinton backs gay marriage

Hillary Rodham Clinton's embrace of gay marriage March 18 signals she may be seriously weighing a 2016 presidential run and trying to avoid the type of late-to-the-party caution that hurt her first bid. Her chief Democratic rivals endorsed same-sex marriage as much as seven years ago, and it's widely popular with Democratic and independent voters. By supporting gay marriage a full two years before the next presidential primary warms up, Clinton may render the issue largely settled among Democrats, should she decide to run. A poll released March 18 shows a dramatic shift in attitudes about legalizing gay marriage, with 58 percent of Americans now supporting it. (AP)
