    The point was the contrast with the vote in the Austrian parliament, 110-26 against. You can split hairs about the question - but we don't know the question yet.

    The Eurobarometer report:

    "This survey was carried out by TNS Opinion & Social network in the 28 Member States of the European Union between 30 May and 8 June 2015. Some 27,718 respondents from different social and demographic groups were interviewed face-to-face at home in their mother tongue
    .
    .
    The majority of respondents express tolerant or supportive views in relation to
    gay, lesbian and bisexual people having the same rights as heterosexual people
    (71% agree) and with regards to same sex marriages being allowed throughout
    Europe (61% agree). This latter opinion has increased steeply since 2006, when
    just 44% agreed that ‘homosexual marriages should be allowed throughout
    Europe’. "


    The 2014 ORF poll article is translated thus (by Google), and gives "nearly half" as the proportion in favour of letting gays, etc have "real marriages".

    Nearly 70 percent of Austrians are convinced of the meaning of marriage. Nearly half also wants a "real" marriage for same-sex couples. The results of an online survey of the Linz market institute commissioned by the ORF broadcast "live today".

    This was carried out before the Eurovision Song Contest victory of Conchita Wurst and the associated discussion about the rights of homosexuals.

    Of those surveyed, 405 people aged 18 and over 68 percent declared that married couples "rather it" or even "definitely" made sense. This compares with 22 per cent, for the explicit lifelong, happy gatherings can take place without a marriage certificate. In the age group of 30 to 49 year olds my even 32 percent.

    Half of "real" marriage of same

    73 percent are in favor, according to published on Wednesday poll basically a marriage entirely equivalent connection for same-sex couples. Nearly half is even explicitly that not only a legally subordinate partnering made, but to be really married. In this issue, especially the younger ones to 29 years are expected to be more tolerant than other populations.
