78-14 in 2016

What I find interesting is that Trump did worse among LGBT voters in 2016 than how Mitt Romney had done in 2012 and John McCain in 2008; Obama won LGBT voters 76-22% against Romney and 70-27% against McCain. And this is despite the fact that Trump appeared to be the most pro-LGBT Republican nominee in memory-although his Administration's policies have adhered to traditional Republican orthodoxy on these issues, as they have on almost every issue. And this is to say nothing of Mike Pence, who was notorious for his anti-LGBT policies as Governor of Indiana. I've said before that I don't think Trump personally is anti-LGBT, but he certainly hasn't done anything to alter his Party's trajectory on such issues.

I'm sure Oberkfell helped the Dems a bit in 2016 as well.

It also makes sense that Obama did much better with LGBTQ voters in 2012 than in 2008 considering he and Biden didn't take a stand in favor of gay marriage until 2010/2011

Hornet has clarified that its poll was unscientific. This one was scientific AFAIK and I'm glaad to see it.

Conducted by Pathfinder Opinion Research (pathfinder is a satanist game so this is a good poll for Trump)
September 21-25
800 respondents - presumably a poll of adults (88% are registered voters and 92% say they're definitely or probably voting in the election)
MoE: 3.5%

Another candidate 5%
Undecided 2%

Among gay men who are also likely voters:
Biden 80%
Trump 18%

Among lesbians:
Biden 83%
Trump 11%

Among non-cisgender voters:
Biden 72%
Trump 18%

Presumably the non-cisgender sample is really small but that's not going to stop me from comparing their #s to the rest of the sample and shouting TRANSITION TO GREATNESS.

Would certainly be interesting if he does better among the T than the LGB since it’s the T that his administration has been going after most.

Probably most LGBT people could see right through Trump’s vague and meaningless overtures to them. “Wow! He held a rainbow flag upside down once! He must be on our side!” Doubt many thought that. And yeah, Pence didn’t help. Also, Trump’s machismo BS probably didn’t play well with many LGBT voters.

Many of my gay and lesbian friends are voting trump (including myself) but most are against him so this seems accurate just depends what area you are from (city vs suburban vs rural) in NYC/NJ

That's terrible.
Trump is a true friend of the LGBTQ people.

These people are voting against their own interests.

You are not very good at trolling. Be better.

Everyone else, stop feeding the troll.

Ah, anecdotal "evidence". The desperate man's last resort against statistics.

In between Latinos and African-Americans as far as the margin goes, which is what one would expect.
