Elizabeth Warren is the top candidate among LGBTQ people according to new polling

https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2019/11/elizabeth-warren-top-candidate-among-lgbtq-people-according-new-polling/

Interesting and somewhat surprising results from this poll from YouGov and Out magazine.

...
“Seventy-seven percent of LGBTQ+ Democratic primary voters identified in our survey as very or somewhat liberal, approximately 20 percentage points higher than the percentage of Democratic primary voters overall who identify as very or somewhat liberal in our surveys,” YouGov Blue Vice President Alissa Stollwerk told Out.

The poll also asked LGBTQ people which candidates they thought could beat Donald Trump in the general election. 53% said they believed Warren could and 52% said they believed Biden could. They were followed by Sanders (46%), Buttigieg (29%), and Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA), at 26%.

Even though LGBTQ people are divided on which candidate to support, the vast majority want Trump out of the White House. 89% said that he should be impeached and removed from office, 93% disapprove or strongly disapprove of how he has been doing his job as president, and only 4% approve of his time in the White House.

Gay Republicans often argue that LGBTQ Democrats only vote for Democrats because they support LGBTQ rights, but that’s not what the survey found. Only 34% of LGBTQ people said LGBTQ equality was one of their top issues going into the 2020 election season, lower than health care (66%), climate change (59%), income inequality (37%), and gun violence (36%).
