PAUL: Well, you know, people have already started lining up outside the Supreme Court this weekend because they want to be there as the court takes on two huge cases dealing with same sex marriage. Paul Steinhauser has more for us. Good morning, Paul.</s>PAUL STEINHAUSER, CNN POLITICAL EDITOR: Good morning, Christi. Same sex marriage will be in the political spotlight this week as the Supreme Court hears two high-profile cases involving the hot-button social issue. A week ago Republican senator Rob Portman of Ohio changed his mind on the subject. Here's what he told our Dana Bash.</s>ROB PORTMAN (R-OH), FORMER SENATOR: My son came to Jane, my wife and I, told us that he was gay. And that launched an interesting process for me, which was kind of rethinking my position. Talking to my pastor and other religious leaders and going through a process of at the end changing my position on the issue. I now believe that people ought to have the right to get married.</s>STEINHAUSER: And earlier this week Hillary Clinton announced her support of same sex marriage. So what do you think? According to our CNN/ORC poll conducted just last week and a majority support same sex marriages and that number's been on the rise over the past three years. But our survey indicated a wide partisan divide with Democrats and Independents supportive and Republicans oppose. And there's a wide generational divide as well with most younger people, but only a minority of seniors support same sex marriage. Of course, when it comes to the two cases in front of the Supreme Court, the only votes that matter in the end are those of the nine justices -- Christi.</s>PAUL: All right. Paul Steinhauser, thank you so much. And we're going to be right back.
