A new [poll](https://www.glaad.org/blog/glaad-poll-lgbtq-americans-president-bidens-first-100-days?ref=scenemag.co.uk), conducted by advocacy organisation **GLAAD** **,** found LGBTQ+ Americans overwhelmingly approve of president **Joe Biden** following his first 100 days in office. The survey interviewed 800 LGBTQ+ identifying adults in the **US**, discussing Biden’s efforts to advance LGBTQ+ equality during his first few months as president. 78% said Biden is doing an *“excellent or good job”* so far, with a further 73% approving of his handling of LGBTQ+ issues.

Many respondents expressed concerns about the wave of anti-trans bills sweeping the US, as well fears that the [Equality Act](https://www.scenemag.co.uk/house-of-representatives-passes-us-equality-act/) will not be passed by the national Senate. In response to the findings, GLAAD president and CEO **Sarah Kate Ellis** said: *“President Biden has earned the overwhelming support of LGBTQ+ people because he and his administration have hit the ground running to reverse the immeasurable damage of the last four years.”*

She continued: *“It’s clear, however, that those who oppose our rights are not letting up, and anti-LGBTQ+ lawmakers and groups…have moved the battleground out to the states.”* An estimated 30 states are currently considering anti-LGBTQ+ regulations, the majority of which target young trans people. 77% GLAAD survey respondents reported feeling *“unsafe”* when officials attempt to pass laws that limit LGBTQ+ rights, with Ellis saying: *“It’s time for elected officials to stop using misinformation to target LGBTQ people – especially transgender youth. The consequences are severe.”*
