This survey is based on 816 interviews conducted by YouGov on the internet of registered LGBTQ voters likely to vote in the Democratic presidential primary in 2020. A sample of 1,068 interviews of self-identified LGBTQ registered voters was selected to be representative of the national LGBTQ population as defined in the Williams Institute LGBT Data & Demographics dataset and weighed according to gender, education, age, race, and region based on the Williams Institute’s dataset. LGBTQ identity was ascertained with self-reports to the question "Do you identify as Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender or Queer?"

The sample was then subsetted to only look at respondents who reported they were likely to vote in their state’s Democratic primary or caucus (n = 816). The weights range from 0.4 to 6.2 with a mean of 1 and a standard deviation of 0.93. Note that not all totals in this file might add up to 100% due to rounding.

The margin of error (a 95% confidence interval) for a sample percentage p based upon the entire sample is approximately 4.7%. It is calculated using the formula s 1 + CV2 pˆ ± 100 × n where CV is the coefficient of variation of the sample weights and n is the sample size used to compute the proportion. This is a measure of sampling error (the average of all estimates obtained using the same sample selection and weighting procedures repeatedly). The sample estimate should differ from its expected value by less than margin of error in 95 percent of all samples. It does not reflect non-sampling errors, including potential selection bias in panel participation or in response to a particular survey.
