According to a new poll conducted by the Wall Street Journal and NBC News, Americans are more comfortable with the idea of an openly gay president than an openly evangelical president.
The survey, which was taken last month, asked 1,000 adults living in the U.S. if they would be okay with having a gay or lesbian presidential candidate. 61 percent said yes, they’d be fine with it.
When asked if they would be okay with an evangelical Christian running for president, however, and only 52 percent said yes.
Boom.
