The Human Rights Campaign today released the results of a post-election poll.

But bear in mind though. These are the same people who predicted an all -inclusive ENDA in 2010 and that DOMA would have been overturned in Obama's first term.  (Also please note how they left out the T-rans Community altogether in the below info)

    Total Americans voting 120,871,984

    Total LGB voters (5% of electorate) 6,043,599

    President Obama's national popular vote (51% of all voters) 62,088,847

    President Obama's national popular vote margin over Mitt Romney 3,305,710

    LGB votes for President Obama (76% of total LGB votes) 4,593,136

    President Obama's LGB votes if the demographic group only voted for him at the national average of 51% 3,082,235

    Additional LGB votes President Obama received above the 51% national average 1,510,901

     Percent of President Obama's national popular vote margin due to LGB voters 45.7%

Not sure HRC can really be blamed for trans being left out of the numbers. The polls that were done by various pollsters didn't include asking people if they were trans and even if it did, how many of us would tell them, I wouldn't. I don't out myself to people.
