68% Of LGBTQ Voters Will Vote For Biden, Only 15% For Trump: GLAAD Poll

President Joe Biden is leading Donald Trump among LGBTQ voters, outpacing the former president by 53 points, according to a new poll released by non-profit LGBTQ advocacy organization GLAAD.

In the poll, which included a total of 869 LGBTQ respondents, 94% of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer registered voters said they will likely vote in the upcoming presidential election.

Of this figure, 68% said they plan to back Biden, while just 15% said they would support Trump, the poll released Thursday found.

The gap between the two 2024 presidential candidates widened in close-contest states such as Arizona and Georgia, with 72% of LGBTQ voters supporting Biden and 15% preferring Trump, according to the poll.

The poll was conducted by Pathfinder Opinion Research from Jan. 25 to 31.

In a statement released alongside the results, GLAAD president Sarah Kate Ellis said, "LGBTQ Americans are ready to exert their significant power to shape electoral politics, choose responsible leadership, and use their voices to advocate for equality."

Ellis added, "Candidates, parties, strategists, and reporters are on notice about the power of the LGBTQ vote and the issues that should be demanding attention, including our fundamental freedoms and everyone's safety and well-being."

The support for both Biden and Trump from LGBTQ voters appeared to have seen a small drop since the 2020 presidential race.

A GLAAD poll released just weeks before the 2020 election found that 76% of  LGBTQ registered voters said they would support Biden, while 17% said they would back Trump.

The new poll comes as Biden and Trump dominated their Super Tuesday races across the country, setting up a rematch in November's general election.

On Wednesday, Trump challenged Biden to face him in debates ahead of the election.

"It is important, for the Good of our Country, that Joe Biden and I Debate Issues that are so vital to America, and the American People. Therefore, I am calling for Debates, ANYTIME, ANYWHERE, ANYPLACE!" Trump wrote on Truth Social.

He continued, "The Debates can be run by the Corrupt DNC, or their Subsidiary, the Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD). I look forward to receiving a response. Thank you for your attention to this matter!"

In response, Biden's campaign said in a statement obtained by CNN that Trump was "thirsty for attention and struggling to expand his appeal."

"I know Donald Trump's thirsty for attention and struggling to expand his appeal beyond the MAGA base -- and that's a conversation we'll have at the appropriate time in this cycle," communications director Michael Tyler said in the statement.

Ahead of Super Tuesday, a CBS News poll found Trump led Biden by four points nationally.

According to the outlet, around 65% of registered voters rated the economy under Trump well, while only 38% held a positive view of the current economy.

The poll also showed that 46% of respondents viewed Trump's presidency as excellent or good and 53% thought it was fair or poor.

Biden got worse marks, with only 33% saying his presidency has been excellent or good and 67% believing it's been fair or poor.

A recent national survey by The New York Times and Siena College showed similar results, with 48% of registered voters supporting Trump and 43% backing Biden.
