As someone who follows the farther right reaches of the GOP (where most of the energy and activism in the party is these days), it seems pretty clear that once (if?) Roe is gone, the next target will be Obergefell.

A significant number of current GOP voters are fine with same sex marriage, but a very loud and active fraction of the GOP has never accepted Obergefell as legitimate.
Just as anti-choice slowly became a mandatory position in the GOP over a few decades, landing us where we are today...I fear that anti-Obergefell will shift from being a "debatable" position within GOP ranks to being something one must either eagerly condone or just accept.
Back in "the old days" of US politics, there seemed to be a law of physics that held that the further outside the mainstream of US opinion a party went, the harder it got for them to win elections and gain power. That law, however, seems to not hold so much for the GOP.
For most folks, the takeaway from this poll was "wow, even a majority of Republicans now support same sex marriage!" On the other hand, 45% of Republicans do NOT support same sex marriage. History reminds us that things do not only move in one direction.
