PRINCETON, NJ -- Americans who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender remain significantly more likely than non-LGBT Americans to identify as Democrats. More than six in 10 LGBT Americans identify as Democrats or are Democratic-leaning independents, while 21% identify with or lean toward the Republican Party. Non-LGBT Americans are more evenly divided in their politics, tilting just slightly more Democratic than Republican.



The political orientation of LGBT individuals is virtually unchanged since Gallup's June-September 2012 report, when 21% identified as Republicans, and 65% as Democrats.

These results are based on 88,802 Gallup Daily tracking interviews conducted between Jan. 2 and June 30, 2014. In this period, 3.6% of adults who were asked the political questions identified themselves as "lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender." Self-reported LGBT status has been generally stable in Gallup polling since October 2012, when 3.4% of all adults identified as LGBT.

What a shock, I tell ya!

[Objective Scrutator]

What a surprise, anti-Christian people vote for the anti-Christian party.

[madprof98]

This will change just as soon as the GOP establishment convinces them of its newfound tolerance for rainbow causes.

What a chock. Next Gallump will discover that welfare slugs vote Democrat.

[Vigilanteman]

Surprise! Surprise! People with mental illnesses who want to force their perverted lifestyles on the rest of us support the party of mental illness which has the same goal.

It’s has always been typical for people who are “different” to migrate over to the commie lib side. It’s the ‘RATS’ “anything goes” attitude that draws them.

And in related news ... the sun shines.

Gallup gets the “Captain Obvious” award.

So what. Their percentage of the population is miniscule. There is no need to go after that voting block. You will probably lose a higher percent than you could possibly gain.

[LucianOfSamasota]

So perverts who defy God’s laws support the anti-Christian Party?

What a surprise!

[Linda Frances]

All 2.8% of them? The left can have the whole voting block.

[Army Air Corps]

Unexpected!

[nhwingut]

Hurry. Huddle up. We need to appeal to the gays now. Or we have no future.

[Mike Darancette]

LGBT will be the 2nd group to go; just after the Jews.

[relictele]

One mental illness begets another

[Rennes Templar]

The fact that this poll shows 21% LGBT lean GOP brings in to question the credibility of any and all polls.

[dangus]

Who cares? They are 2.3 percent of the population.

[albie]

Who gives a s%%%!? These pervs only make up 2.0% of the total! It’s like polling elevator operators.

[albie]

Sorry. I just saw your post.
