NBC News Exit Poll: Trump Fails to Peel LGBT Voters Away From Democratic Party

Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) voters are maintaining their traditionally strong loyalty to the Democratic Party in this year’s presidential election, according to the NBC News Exit Poll. 

Among those who have already voted today or beforehand, exit polls show Hillary Clinton winning the support of roughly three quarters of LGBT voters. This is consistent with past results: Democratic candidates have swept the gay vote in every presidential election since at least 1992, when exit polls first asked respondents about their sexual orientation. 

Clinton’s strong support among LGBT people comes in spite of Trump’s direct attempt to court the group this year with targeted appeals in speeches and even campaign merchandise, an unprecedented move for a GOP presidential candidate.
