Kamala Harris leads the race among LGBTQ voters

 


Vice President Kamala Harris leads the race for the Oval Office among LGBTQ voters by a wide margin. 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 nationwide poll.

VP Harris holds a nearly 67-point lead over Donald 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 Kamala Harris and just days after she selected Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, a longtime LGBTQ rights advocate, as her running mate. 

About 8 percent of respondents who intend to vote said they would vote for Trump 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 or did not plan on voting. 

Yes, we Kam!!!
