The Hill -
An NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll, which was first published in
March and has gained new attention with Buttigieg's rise, shows that
Americans' attitudes toward a gay presidential candidate have changed
drastically over the last decade.
The survey found
that 54 percent of Americans said they would be comfortable with a gay
or lesbian person running for president. An additional 14 percent said
that they would be "enthusiastic" about a gay or lesbian candidate.
That
represents a huge contrast from a similar poll conducted in 2006, which
found that more than 50 percent of Americans either had "reservations"
about or were "very uncomfortable" with a gay person running for
president.
