I was looking at the Sky news breakdown of the US Exit polls, showing how different groups voted.

According to the data from Sky, those who voted Yes to the question "Are you gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender?" overwhelmingly voted for Trump (76%).

It's early and I haven't slept much, can anyone explain this? My brain really hasn't woken up yet.

There seems to have been a drift among men who voted Democrat last time to the Republicans and I wonder how much that has to do with Biden's outspoken wokeness? People who are worried about their jobs and futures, seeing their businesses fail and so on aren't going to be impressed by Biden and Pelosi's promises to introduce laws and policies that will strengthen trans rights. Trump does at least give the appearance of being concerned about the economy and the things that are bothering ordinary people.

Wonder how many votes the Democrats' wokrness has cost? Know several women in the US who are voting with their noses held.

Some of those heavily invested in critical race theory and queer theory are having a meltdown lol.

I know, it looks wrong and I had to re-read it several times. Then double check that they hadn't decided to switch the colours round and make Biden red and Trump blue.

It's surely an error on the Sky website. Other news sources (e.g. NY Times) have the margin the other way round.

Surely they have those the wrong way round? If not, thats a very interesting result, and I cannot explain it
