A large majority of Democratic voters say they do not see a presidential candidate’s race or gender as being important factors.

The Quinnipiac University poll released on Thursday found that 84 percent of Democrats and Democratic-leaning voters, including 75 percent of black voters, say that a candidate’s race is not an important factor to them.

Eighty-four percent, including 83 percent of women voters, say gender is not an important factor.

Sixty-four percent of Democratic voters said it is more important that a candidate be a great leader, while 32 percent said a candidate must have “great policy ideas.”

Issues of race and gender have hovered over the Democratic race, which features perhaps the most diverse selection of candidates running in a presidential primary for the party.

In the Quinnipiac poll, Biden and Sanders win 29 percent and 19 percent support, while former Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-Texas) gets 12 percent and comes in third place.

That puts three white men at the top of the poll.
