Majority of Americans are enthusiastic and/or comfortable with a gay presidential candidate, new NBCNews poll finds. - NBCOUT
As recently as 2006, when Buttigieg was 24, more than half of Americans said they would be “very uncomfortable” or have “reservations” about a gay or lesbian person running for president.
That year, just five percent said they’d be enthusiastic about an LGBT candidate, according to an NBC/Wall Street Journal poll. An additional 38 percent said they’d be “comfortable.”A combined 68 percent are either enthusiastic or comfortable with a candidate who is gay or lesbian.What’s more, that jump isn’t just due to increasing tolerance among the younger voters whom Buttigieg, a millennial, can claim to represent.
The share of those younger than 35 who say they’re enthusiastic or comfortable with a gay candidate increased by 28 percentage points between 2006 and now, jumping from 47 percent to 75 percent. And, while seniors are more likely to voice reservations about gay candidates, a majority now say they have no objections. That’s up from just 31 percent in 2006.
