A poll of lesbian, gay and bisexual likely voters finds overwhelming support for Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
The Hunter College survey of a nationally representative sample of lesbian, gay and bisexual voters found that 63 percent of the LGB population plan to vote for Hillary Clinton, 22 percent for Barack Obama and 7 percent for John Edwards.
Perhaps this has something to do with Obama's poor showing.
Other findings:
• 72 percent of LGB likely voters consider Senator Clinton a supporter of gay rights, with Senator Obama at 52 percent and former Senator Edwards at 41 percent. On the Republican side, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani was at 37 percent, followed by Senator John McCain at 13 percent.
• Nine in 10 LGB likely voters will vote in the Democratic primaries and 21 percent say that lesbian and gay rights will be the most important issue influencing their vote in 2008.
