AP-NORC poll: Still some extra hurdles for LGBT candidates

NEW YORK (AP) — A sizable number of U.S. voters say they’d have some hesitancy about supporting an LGBT candidate for president. An Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll finds it’s a negative factor for more voters than a candidate’s race or gender.
In the poll, 32% of registered voters said they would be less excited about supporting a presidential candidate if that person was gay, lesbian or bisexual; 42% said that about a transgender candidate.
