Are some politicians changing their position on same-sex marriage because of public opinion polls?
There does seem to be a number of US politicians changing their views on the issue of same-sex
marriage lately. One can certainly speculate that a dramatic increase in the percentage of Americans that now support the legalization of same-sex
marriage has had a major influence on the decision by some politicians to give up their opposition to same-sex
marriage. There are other possible influences, however, such as a poor showing by opponents to same-sex
marriage in the 2012 elections and the anticipation of a ruling by the US Supreme Court that might be favorable to same-sex
marriage rights. (Some kind of decision is expected by the end of June 2013.) It is likely that some public figures do not want to be seen as espousing positions that have been ruled unconstitutional, nor to be remembered by history as opposing an important civil rights issue.

Why do politicians switch parties?
Politicians primary concern is getting reelected. They switch parties when their chance of being reelected is greater if they change. Sometimes this is because the segment of the population who elect them has shifted toward the other party. Other times the party they are currently in has become more extreme and, being more moderate, they think they have a better chance by changing.
