A gay president? The majority of Americans believe the country isn't ready | Analysis
Poll of the week: A new Quinnipiac University poll finds that 70% of voters say they are open to electing a gay president. The same poll also discovered, however, that only 36% of voters think the United States is ready to elect a gay president. What's the point: Right now, South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg is one of the top 5 contenders vying for the Democratic nomination process. He is a married gay man.
A CBS News poll conducted in the spring of that year showed that 89% of Democrats and 78% of all Americans said the country was ready for a woman president. Interestingly, in all three instances, more voters said they were ready for a black, female or gay president than thought the country was ready for one.
