A majority of Americans across every state and almost every demographic support LGBTQ nondiscrimination protections, according to a poll released Tuesday. - NBCOUT
The nonpartisan organization's"American Values Atlas" survey found that 69 percent of Americans support “broad nondiscrimination protections for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people.” That includes majorities in all major religions, from 90 percent of Unitarian/Universalists to 53 percent of Jehovah’s Witnesses.
While the report characterizes the support for LGBTQ nondiscrimination protections among Americans as “stable,” it in fact declined from 71 percent in 2015 to 69 percent in 2018 . One pronounced decline was among Republicans — there was a 5 percentage point drop in support. In 2015, 61 percent of Republicans supported LGBTQ nondiscrimination protections, while in 2018, that support fell to 56 percent.
“Notably, among Republicans, this drop in support has been concentrated among those who showed the highest support for LGBT protections just a few years ago,” the report explains.
