Nine countries show outright majorities in support for full marriage equality: six where it is now legal (Sweden, Norway, Spain, Belgium, Canada, and France) and three where it is not yet legal (Germany, Great Britain, and Australia).

In Argentina, where same-sex marriage is legal, supporters of full marriage equality are two-points shy of being a majority (48%).

The 55% level of support in Britain was slightly above average. In France it was 51%.

Simon Atkinson, of Ipsos MORI, said: “Same-sex marriage is more controversial in Westminster than it is among the public at large. What this poll shows is that David Cameron is in step, not just with the mood in Britain, but also with people in many countries around the world.”

UK polls in the past year have shown support for equal marriage reaching as high as 71%.
