You're conflating two separate issues. Most Americans seem amenable to some form of DP (and not only for same sex partners, I might add). However, most Americans also seem opposed to gay marriage, even in "moderate, secular" Maine.

It's an interesting statistic that in not a single place where gay marriage has been put to the vote of the people has it ever passed.
