GLAAD is releasing the findings of the first of an ongoing series of polls that gauge and track motivation, enthusiasm, and issues leading up to the 2022 midterm elections in November. The poll compares how motivated LGBTQ+ voters are compared to the 2020 presidential election. In a statement GLAAD said, "LGBTQ voters provided the deciding edge for the pro-equality presidential ticket in 2020. This year, elections are underscored by an increasingly hostile climate toward LGBTQ people in state legislatures across the country. Nearly 160 bills have been proposed in 2022, most (91) targeting transgender people and youth, and there’s been a surge of anti-LGBTQ school policy bills (60) banning classroom conversation and books about LGBTQ people under the guise of “parents’ rights,” like Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” bill." The poll found that 83% will definitely or probably vote in the 2022 midterms. 50% are extremely motivated to vote in 2022 (driven by younger voters 18–24 at 65%) with 48% more motivated to vote in the midterms as compared with the 2020 Presidential election.
