ALBANY, N.Y. -- The Vermont Legislature successfully overturned their governor's veto of a same sex marriage bill. It's now the fourth state in the country to legalize gay marriage.

Lawmakers in New York who have been pushing for its passage here, say it's now time.

"We can get married in Iowa, we can get married in Vermont, we can get married in Massachusetts, we can get married in Connecticut. I think it's time I should get married in New York," said Daniel O’Donnell.

The governor has said he would support the bill, the Assembly has already passed it and will likely pass it again.

But according to a Quinnipiac poll released Tuesday, only 41 percent of New York voters support legalizing gay marriage. Civil unions get 33 percent support while 19 percent want no legal recognition.

Civil unions are a compromise several lawmakers support though those strongly in support of full marriage equality like openly gay Assemblyman Danny O'Donnell say it's not good enough.

"Marriage is an understood term, it's an understood word. It has meanings and rights and responsibility," said O’Donnell.

"I have supported civil union. I would be surprised if it came to the floor of the Senate for a vote before we leave session," said Senator John Flanagan.

A spokesperson for Senate Majority Leader Malcolm Smith confirmed Flanagan's inclination saying in a statement, "Senator Smith has consistently affirmed his support for marriage equality and will continue to support it. However, at the present time he does not believe there are sufficient votes in the Senate to pass the marriage equality bill, which was passed by the Assembly last year. The Majority Leader has said in the past that it will pass as soon as the votes can be secured and he is committed to continuing that process now."
