An ABC News/Washington Post poll unveiled Monday, meanwhile, asked whether Congress should pass legislation approving the project or wait until the Obama administration completes its review. Sixty-one percent favored completing the review before deciding, while 34 percent backed authorizing construction now
If a majority is defined as 50% plus 1, then it seems to fail the test.

Wow !! I can use explanation points also!! because surely they prove I am right !!.
A majority is fifty percent plus one. A plurality is the most often selected choice when there were more than two options. For example Obama was twice elected by a majority of the voters. Bill Clinton was twice elected by a plurality of voters and of course a majority of electoral voters. So you are wrong in your statement !!!! enjoy the punctuation
