A poll by PinkNews.co.uk out today finds that LGBT support for the Conservative party has fallen markedly in recent days.

Last June, prior to an alliance with anti-gay parties within the European Parliament, the Conservative party enjoyed the support of almost 40% of the website’s readers.

Now the Conservatives are down to just 20%.

The further fall in support started recently following an interview where David Cameron appeared to falter when questioned about gay rights.

The new poll suggests that 20% of LGBT voters community say they will back the Conservatives. Support for Labour remains unchanged at 28%, while support for the Liberal Democrats has increased in recent months to 29%. The Greens are down 1% at 18%.

The poll was conducted before Chris Grayling’s comments even came to light, suggesting that further fall in support is likely.
