Harris holds 67-point lead over Trump among LGBTQ voters: Poll
Vice President Harris leads former President Trump among LGBTQ voters by a wide margin, with more than 70 percent of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer voters indicating they will cast a ballot for the Democratic ticket, according to a poll released Tuesday.
Harris holds a nearly 67-point lead over Trump, according to the survey from the Human Rights Campaign, the nation’s largest LGBTQ advocacy organization, and an almost 70-point lead when the results are restricted to those who plan to vote.
Data collection began two weeks after President Biden abandoned his reelection campaign and endorsed Harris and just days after Harris selected Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, a longtime LGBTQ rights advocate, as her running mate. Survey responses were recorded about a week before independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. suspended his campaign and endorsed Trump.
About 8 percent of respondents who intend to vote in this year’s presidential election said they would vote for Trump and his running mate, Ohio Sen. JD Vance, compared with 77 percent who said they would vote for Harris and Walz. The remaining share of LGBTQ adults said they planned to back a third-party candidate in November or did not plan on voting.
