People who voted for Trump think men are more discriminated against than LGBTQ people, women, African-Americans, or Mexican-Americans according to a new poll from The Economist.
The poll asked, “How much discrimination do the following people face in America today?” and respondents were given the options of “none at all,” “not much,” “a fair amount” and “a great deal” for all of them.
49 percent of Trump voters said men face either “a great deal” or “a fair amount” of discrimination. 41 percent of Trump voters said LGBT people face the same amount of bias.
