Poll: LGBTQ voters are motivated and strongly favor Harris over Trump

Three-quarters of LGBTQ voters are supporting Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election — and those voters are well-positioned to make their voices heard, with more than 95% of the queer electorate registered to vote in the pivotal November election, according to a new poll released by the Human Rights Campaign Foundation and Community Marketing & Insights.

The research was conducted as part of the 2024 LGBTQ+ Climate Survey, which polled 2,400 LGBTQ Americans Aug. 8-18 to learn about how queer voters are poised to participate in the presidential contest this year. The poll came just weeks after President Joe Biden’s departure from the race and just days after Harris selected Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate.
