LGBTQ+ issues may not be the main focus for queer voters in the upcoming November election, according to a new survey. Data For Progress new study revealed That LGBTQ+ Issues Aren’t The Most Important Important Things on Queer Voters Minds Leading Into The November General Elections. For example, 57% Of Respondents Had A Favorable View Of The Democratic Party and 51% of Biden. 20% Had A Favorable View of The Republican Party and 22% of Trump. 52% Of Trans Respondents Said The Biden Administration Is Doing Worse Than Expected. 70% of LGBTQ+ Who Identify As Democrat Say The Democratic Party Should Be Doing More To Protect Queer Americans From Anti-LGBTQ+ Legislation. The Younger The Respondent The More Likely They Felt That Way.” Top Election Issues For Queer Adults In November Election are The Economy, Jobs, Inflation, Other, and LGBTQ+ Civil Rights. The Survey Suggests LGBTQ+ Voters Are Not “Single-Issue Voters” And May Be Especially Focused On Economic Issues Since LGBTQ+ Workers Continue To Earn About 90 Cents For Every Dollar Heterosexual Workers Earn. The Majority Of LGBTQ+ Voters, Regardless Of Age, Said They Believe That Neither The Republican Nor The Democratic Parties Care Much About People Like Them. Only 61% Of LGBTQ+ Voters Felt Enthusiastic About Voting In The 2024 Election. That Enthusiasm Was Lowest Among Younger Voters. Zeke Stokes a GLAAD consultant provided context of these results. “Overall, the reason that LGBTQ people seem to vote in large numbers for Democrats is because, unfortunately, today’s Republican Party has made LGBTQ equality a partisan issue. There are LGBTQ people on all places of the ideological perspective when it comes to what we would traditionally considered conservative to liberal in this country. But we’ve got one party, unfortunately, who’s put a target on our backs, in order to appeal to a minority of their base.”
