We surveyed LGBT Americans, in partnership with the polling firm Ipsos, in a first-of-its-kind poll on guns, Islam, and immigration in the aftermath of Orlando.

A new BuzzFeed News–Ipsos survey of LGBT Americans finds Donald Trump’s policy proposals following the Orlando shooting have gained little traction.

The poll, which surveyed 548 LGBT Americans across the country between June 27 and July 7, asked respondents how their views on “laws temporarily banning Muslims from entering the United States” had changed since the Orlando shooting on June 12.

Thirty-eight percent said they had grown less supportive of a temporary ban, while 28% said they had grown more supportive.*

Ipsos found the general population felt roughly the opposite in a nationally representative survey run at the same time. In that survey, support for the proposed ban has grown by about the same margin.

Trump's call for “a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States” following the attacks in San Bernadino and Paris has been a defining part of his presidential campaign.

He claimed in the days after the Orlando shootings that the incident had proved him right and would bring him LGBT support. (Omar Mateen, born in the U.S. to Afghan immigrant parents, did pledge allegiance to ISIS just before his attack but had appeared to be troubled for years beforehand.)
