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.
Sodomists!
We a already have a gay VP who has a big guy crush on the president. Just look at the way he looks and admires the president!
God the media are trolls. CNN is the only haters who say 'not ready' press are and always will be the enemy of the people. They are trolls, can people not see? The make up stuff to cause hate. Down with CNN!!!!!
Did you survey *every* American? I don’t think you did, because if you had you’d know that people all across the political spectrum (conservatives included) have warmed up to Mayor Pete and think he would be a perfect candidate for president.
Sounds like a headline Kaitlin Collins of CNN would right because she tweeted about her hatred for gays and lesbians.....facts matter CNN
the US of A isn't even ready for a law bidding president
But the country is ready for a conman,nazi, cheating, pathological liar, kissing up to dictators, making money out of the office, alleged rapist, who sleeps with porn stars while his baby is months, who wants to destroy the country and the world and says global warming is a hoax?
Because the Heterosexual is doing such an amazing job . Stick to the policies and the character of the Candidates This is where you went wrong in 2016 !!! I am still in shock the “ grab em by p...y” was aired and his ballot box was ticked . 50% women and he still got in !!!
We weren't ready for a narcissistic fascist, either. Get over it, America.
Every wise and faithful people is shocked of reading this headline,is the US falling in to such an great moral fall and some people look cool at ease maybe for love to Obama they have forgotten all true values!!
It’s a shame his sexuality is even an issue
Gay law must be reversed
God forbid.That’ll see to the end for America
Of course we are !!! Just not this one
No one cares
~ cuz we’re so great at making decisions that are good for us… ummm just look around.
They said the same thing about a black president as well. The biggest voter demographic age wise will be millennials. We can look past party lines and actually vote for who's ideas we like the best rather than settle for a subpar candidate
WTF? Someone being gay isn't a disqualifying factor for candidacy for the presidency! If it is then why is the guy sucking Putin's d**k, realDonaldTrump in the White House? We want an intelligent patriot & a decent person in office. So to hell with GOP FoxNews & All Bigots
I don't think they are but a good thing is this guy is young. He has time.
I wasn’t READY for Trump to be president but here the fuck we are. Do they think he’s gonna paint the White House rainbow colored or something Fuck. Throw the whole human species away.
No ww arent ready for HIM
A mayor with a bad governing track record is a candidate the country is not ready for...his competency is the issue not his gayness.
Are you trying to convince us of this fact by retweeting so often. How very FoxNews of you.
The only reason he's polling so well right now is because he's gay. He'd lose all intersectional convenience and importance to democrats if he wasn't. He'd be just another white guy.
Not yet...
Americans rather have an idiot, unfaithful, unethical, and immoral individual as president than anyone from any diverse community with many exceptional talents and competencies. What a hypocrite society. And media outlets keep perpetuating stereotypes and obstacles.
Usa is only ready for stupid president
I don’t care who he beds; I care how he would lead.
CNN sux that’s why they keep posting this !!!
Polls dont represent the whole Country. For this poll they surveyed just over 1000 people, half of which were Republicans. Of course they're not ready. They never will be. They should do a Facebook or Twitter poll so you could have millions of respondents.
OMG!! Never happen TRUMP2020 MAGA
Your right we’re not ready for another liberal.
CNN. We don’t give a shit. Maybe the some do, but no one who supports trump does. We preach love, equality and whatever is in best interests for everyone. Stop making this about being Gay, Black, Muslim, etc. Just stop . You cause DIVIDE. WWG1WGA!
His sexuality doesn't make him fit or unfit for the job. Stop making up garbage. It's about him personally being unfit for the job.
So he's sucking the air out of the race...why?
It’s the socialism that most are afraid of
You keep pushing the same old tired tweets. It’s not about him being gay!!! Stop with identity politics!
Yep, CNN spreading more Bullshit.
Why Must always Use Labels. To describe People. Actually they labeled BarackObama too. Whoever is tweeting this Nonsense Shouldn’t. It Doesn’t matter what his Orientation is as long as he has The Americans Best Interest at❤️ PeteButtigieg Keep Going!!
His problem is not the sexuality but the fact that he is radical AF. That is what we are not prepared for.
We had one for 8 years its called Barry BarackObama . More FakeNews
Why not?
Hmmm
Hmmm CNN playing identities all the way. Who cares if the guy is gay, man, woman, black, white, Hispanic, alien or wte. WE SHOULD CARE ABOUT POLICIES AND THE PERSON ITSELF.
opinions with bs polls. lol cnn is pathetic.
We aren’t ready for another Democrat President of any persuasion period.
Shameful!
You lot weren’t ready for a black president but I bet now you’re all wishing that Barack Obama was still in hug?
The office of President needs the First Lady role to help move value ideas forward. There is no 'first dude' role. Just sayin.
How many times are you going to post this same tweet ? I’ve seen it like 5 times in 2 days...
Ha!!
Stop spreading propaganda
This guy has a Husband! Will we call him First Lady? This is some sick demonic stuff!
You guys keep uploading the same article like we're not going to act exactly the same
This is what you waste polling dollars on?
More precisely, after the fallout of BarackObama debacle, the majority of Americans believe that the country isn't ready to elect a person based on his/her/'their' sexual orientation, neither are race, gender, or religion being valid attributes of qualification, merit, or worth.
Homosexuality as a substitute for empirical policy. Yea. No. Not gonna work in this lifetime.
Is he experienced and qualified....but moreover..can he beat Trump? Those are the only questions
God made us to procreate not to ruin what he started. What kind of example would this set for our kids. I’m so glad the animals and other livings organisms stayed in their element, because we will be doomed! Humans are the only species that goes against nature. Smh!
So it's apparent that CNN is firmly in the race for Joe Biden. They said the opposite, backed by said polling data 3-4 weeks ago. That polling data said 66% are ready for a gay president/don't care. CNN wants to eliminate every candidate except Corporate Joe.

We’ve already had several and one recent. Stop the lies!
C'mon, he has no chance of winning. Why are we even discussing this? Maybe to have an excuse and say that he lost because of the homophobic vote?
Gay , woman, whatever get trump outta here already .. this is lame u can’t replace a president.. shame on the government.. we are truly brainwashed
Who gives a shit? Why not concentrate on ability instead of race, color, creed or sexual orientation.
Can stop posting this. This is like the 5th time today
What are they ready for? The same old shit by the sounds of it.
Those are the same people that said we werent ready for a black one either but hey, Obama ran on policy and won. Maybe that would work for Pete? Nah, he doesnt want to run on policy In which case ... it isnt about being gay. It's about not offering anything to earn votes
Yeah right but the nation was ready for a self admitted sex predator and accused CHILD MOLESTER? people are INSANE
This does nothing but perpetuate the bullshit notion of electability
You were neither ready for a female president.
Im a gay woman, I’m ready for a gay President as long as he has policy ideas and solutions to bring this country back to the drawing board with education solutions, criminal reform, women’s rights, and equality for all American workers LGBTQ + Pete Buttigieg has none of these
Cute and personable but not presidential
Why do people have to be labeled and defined by their sexuality!? Sexuality is a scale from 0 to 100. People fall somewhere on there..or move throughout their life
The “majority” says , which majority? Illegal migrants doesn’t count!
This is sad, but unfortunately, true. I'm still pulling for PeteButtigieg though!
Slow news day huh?
How can our country be ready when half of America is still living under the impression that witch hunts are still happening? Why didn't we toss Trump in the river to see if he floats?
I am more than ready for change.
Americans would rather focus on someones sexual orientation rather than the ideas they have to improve our country. Is that how closed minded America is? Look who we have in office right now. He ended the Iran oil import waivers, And now gas prices are hitting the roof.
they are not ready? I don't remember the poll about being ready for an Orange President... or a President that watches TV all day long... or makes everything about himself...
We know he’s gay by which has been firmly established by him, the MSM and Time magazine. Now get to the difficult part of laying out what his policies are.
One day Americans will even experiment voting a pig or dog for president.. It appears the country quest to explore is insatiable
More like: “The majority of Americans thinks the majority of Americans aren’t ready.” Electability ratings are used to manipulate sheople.
I’m ready for gay but please can we get somone who supports vaccinations.
If anyone else brought their sexuality to work it would be grounds for termination.
what ya talking about? we're ready for a gay president! :D
It is better than what we currently have in office! Mayor Pete seems intelligent, caring, bright, sincere and eloquent I think he could move our country forward.
How about his policies instead of his sexual preference
Is this what journalism and presidential race is now? Gay, race, and sex over policy and economics interests?
They are too in love with white nationalism.
Who the heck cares about a candidate’s sexual orientation? Focus on the policies and competencies!!!
We already had one, he was a disaster. Obama worst president ever!
RIDICULOUS !!
I don't care about his or anyone's bedroom practices. What about his policies and record? Oh, he does not have much there to recommend him? Well, then I do have a problem.
Sadly true. But perhaps we can see a stepping stone by appointing him to a cabinet post in the next administration?
What's your take Pr Gabriel Baaba Gwanga mujje martinssempa .
After the run of presidents we’ve had over time - why would a Gay president be such a problem?
What fools! Pete is amazing!!!
We weren't ready for a corrupt, 'alleged' rapist, but we got one. I'll vote for the person who will follow the rule of law, indict those that have sold us out, and lead us ALL forward & upward. Water4FlintaMUST Enough with the click-bate. Mayor Pete is qualified. Do better.
I'd be cool with a gay president
Seriously the majority? I doubt it. Gay ppl are a part of our world and I think most people know that. That leaves the Christians who are in the minorty, so I seriously doubt your conclusion.
A gay president!!! Biggest joke of the century🙄
his own sister-in-law says he's not qualified.
That's right.
Can we get back to stories about ewarren? Thx.
For france possible, for canada possible... for usa, nope....bible belt does not allow this...end of discussion...
a majority of Americans said it wouldn't effect their vote one way or the other, and then said they don't think their NEIGHBORS are ready (even though the neighbors also answered that it wouldn't effect their vote one way or the other).... typical CNN spin (love that Biden!)
We aren't!
People: The US is not ready for a gay president. Translation: I won't vote for a gay person but I'm embarrassed to admit it.
I am - and so is my brother!
