90% Of Gays Voted For Obama, Majority Black and Latino Voted For Marriage Equality
Hispanic voters were more likely than other voters to say they would approve if their state recognized same-sex marriage, according to preliminary exit poll results.
Nearly six-in-ten Latino voters (59%) said their state should legally recognize same-sex marriage while 32% said their state should not. But among all voters, about half (48%) favored legalization of gay marriage while nearly the same share said they would oppose it (47%).
While African Americans mostly supported marriage equality in their states (52 percent compared to 40 percent opposed), it was non-Hispanic whites who were most likely to vote against equality for same-sex couples. ABC News reports that 47 percent of white voters supported same-sex marriage at their state's ballot box but 50 percent opposed equality for LGBT couples.
Another poll conducted by Community Marketing & Insights shows that 90 percent of gays voted for President Obama in the 2012 election. The remainder was split with 6 percent voting for Romney and 4 percent voting for a third party candidate.
