According to a report in the New York Times, “Gay voters helped President Obama win over Gov. Mitt Romney and the GOP in general. Exit polls showed that 76% of voters identifying themselves as gay voted for President Obama on election day while only 22% voted for Romney.
“President Obama’s more than three-to-one edge in exit polls among the 5 percent of voters who identified as gay, lesbian or bisexual was more than enough to give him the ultimate advantage,” the article stated referring to exit poll numbers.
