Half of U.S. voters said they were either definitely ready (33 percent) or probably ready (17 percent) for a gay or lesbian president.
While a plurality of registered voters say they are ready to have a gay or lesbian leader in the White House, most don't believe that the rest of the country is on the same page.from Politico/Morning Consult, 50 percent of voters said they were either definitely ready or probably ready for the election of a gay or lesbian president. Nearly a quarter of respondents said they were definitely not ready, and 13 percent said they were probably not ready for such a scenario.
Respondents' outlook got even bleaker when asked about whether they believed their neighbors were ready for a gay or lesbian president. Only 11 percent of those polled said their neighbors were definitely ready, and 15 percent said probably ready. That compares with 46 percent who said their neighbors were either definitely not or probably not on board with a gay or lesbian person in the White House.
For the first time in any presidential election, voters may have the opportunity to cast their ballot in 2020 for an openly gay candidate. Democrat Pete Buttigieg, the mayor of South Bend, Indiana, is the first openly gay man to run for president.
