Many Republicans Believe Having More LGBTQ+ Members of Congress Is Bad
In a new Insider/Morning Consult survey, Congress is perceived as being out of touch with many issues facing Americans today.
In most survey respondents' opinions, legislators lack knowledge about higher education affordability, climate change, health care, social security benefits, economics, and LGBTQ+ issues.
And, on those LGBTQ+ issues, Republicans are more likely than Democrats to oppose electing more LGBTQ+ legislators.According to the poll, about one out of three Republicans believe having more LGBTQ+ people in Congress is wrong.
And while this is a minority of Republicans, it is pretty significant.The Biden administration fared slightly better on several issues than Congress regarding the in-touch and out-of-touch figures for the executive branch.
