Is America Ready For This Kind Of President?



These charts reflect the results of the latest Politico / Morning Consult Poll -- done between October 25th and 28th of a national sample of 1,997 registered voters, with a 2 point margin of error.

There are several kinds of people that have never been elected president of the United States. Is America ready for one of these to be elected? That's what this poll asked registered voters.

The top chart asked those voters if the country was ready for that. The bottom chart asked those voters if they were ready for that. Note that the voters said they were slightly more liberal about this than they thought the country was.

By small margins, the voters said the country was not ready to elect a gay/lesbian as president (by 5 points) or an agnostic/atheist as president (by 6 points). But when asked if they were ready, the voters said yes to a gay/lesbian president (by 13 points) and an agnostic/atheist president (by 4 points).

In both instances, there was a significant majority for electing a president that was female, Hispanic, unmarried, or vegan.
