marriage is a relationship between one man and one woman. the gay marriage debate is heating up across the country since president obama changed his position on wednesday. ee thathena jones. what you hearing. >> i first want to touch on the gallup poll. the first ones to do a national poll in response to what the president said on monday. we see 51% of people approve of the position. 45% disapprove. so those numbers are pretty evenly divided. when it comes to the political questions in the wake of his response on wednesday, only 13% say it made them more likely to vote for the president, 26% said less likely and 60%, which is,

of course, the majority, it doesn't make any difference at all how they would vote. when it comes to talking to people around here, most of the people have been in support of the president comes out in favor of same-sex marriage. i have with me michelle and melissa. you support the president on this. did it change the way you viewed him or make you more likely to vote for him this coming electi election? in my case, no. i voted for obama in the last election and i would vote for him again in this election. i proekt strengthens my resolve to vote for him because it would give me another reason to do that. >> a lot of people said i don't know anyone. this affects you guys to want to be married to each other. do you feel like the president took too long to come out in favor of gay marriage.

>> no. in general i'm not sure what the impact is. it's nice that he has stated that he's in support of it. i think it's more important that he actually put it into action and lobby for it consistently until those protections are passed. >> when you say lobby for it, that leaves us with the whoa idea. the president has said he supports same-sex marriage but it should be an issue left up to the states. you guys see this as one of your civil right. how do you feel it should be left up to the voters of each state. >> so just like other civil rights issues, this is an issue of protection. it should not be left up to the states to deny what should be a basic civil right in that there are about 400 protections that come under getting married. it's really in the worst situations that same-sex comes

end up in the worst situation. >> right. and they need these protections so these are some of the opinions we've been following. of course, here in maryland you have some new law that's cutting into pressure. but there are certainly people who are going to be fighting against it. >> all right. athena jones, thanks so much from silver spring, maryland. the venezuelan president has finished his cancer treatments. we'll tell you why stepping off the plane ee limb namted one persistent rumor. we're here at the famous golden ox steakhouse in kansas city

a strange twist of fate is killing thousands of birds in south america. in peru, dead pelgicans are washing up on shore.

they starve because the fish they feed on is moving to cooling water. in chile, birds feeding off the fish are getting caught in fishermen's nets, killing them. a strange but deadly irony. jacqui jeras is explaining how el nino may play a role in all this. >> it has to do with the water temperature. it's kind of a catch-22. too many birds move into the cooler waters and then they got caught in the fishermen's nets. we talk about the cyclical pattern between el nino and la nina. here is peru. we go through the cycles. we been in what is called the la nina cycle. that ended in april. that means the water temperatures are cool. this is an area that is rich in n nutrients, lots of fish, including anchovies, is the primary food source for the pelicans. in the last couple months, those temperatures have warmed up. what happens is the fish then

move further to the south and they move into deeper waters and so the birds that are too young or maybe even too old or too weak to be able to make the flight to follow that fish end up dying off. so that's what they're saying, they're starving to death. this graphic shows you what's been happening with our te temperatu temperatures. here is the average or normal, so to speak. we have been in that big blue area here. over the months, and then you see the big dip up right here into that orange area. that's where the temperatures have been above average about two to five degrees celsius. it's amazing these kind of small fluctuations can have such a huge impact on the overall life cycle. now, this happens, fredricka, by the way, we alternate back and forth and see the cycles somewhere on average between two and seven years. it's a little surprising, i guess, as a scientist, to take a look at this and say, well, if we're seeing such a huge die off like this, why haven't we seen this so much in the years past? >> what about the dolphins.

so many dolphins that have washed up in the same areas? >> the peruvian scientists are still doing research into all of this, but at this time, they're saying they're likely not related and it could be a virus that's killing off the dolphins. >> thank you very much. appreciate that. >> republican presidential candidate mitt romney delivering some advice to young voters today. he told graduates at liberty university in lynchburg, virginia, their convictions are important and he defended his position on marriage. >> culture, what you believe, what you value, how you live, matters. now, as fundamental as these principles are, they may become topics of democratic debate from time to time. so it's today with the enduring institute of marriage, marriage is a relationship between one man and one woman. >> a group of civil rights
