New polling makes it clear that adherents to the Islamic faith aren’t rushing to support Kamala Harris this November. To the contrary, she’s fighting Green Party candidate Jill Stein for the lead.
A poll of 1,159 Muslims released Thursday by the Council on American-Islamic Relations shows Harris and Stein tied at 29%, with 11% of the cohort’s support going to Donald Trump, 4% to Cornel West, and 1% to Libertarian Chase Oliver. A significant 9% say they aren’t voting.
Incredibly, this represents growth for Harris from the previous CAIR poll of 2,500 Muslims conducted before the vice president became the nominee, but was never released.
In that previously unreported survey, 36% backed Stein and 25% supported West, with President Biden drawing 7% and Trump at 5%.
It’s enough to sway Michigan and Pennsylvania. It highlights that Dems have decided to sacrifice those swing states and continue to run on far-right foreign policy.
Can you describe the difference between far-right and moderate-right foreign policy in this context? Given that she has made almost zero statements on foreign policy I’m guessing this is about Palestine and Israel?
Considering this post is about muslim voters, why would it be about anything else? Muslims are fleeing the DNC in favor of the Greens, because the DNC promises more genocide and the Greens promise a cessation of genocide.
If you mean to declare that genocide is merely moderate-right, you’re beginning to show that truthfully liberalism and fascism have a symbiotic relationship, but nonetheless it is Harris support for genocide that is the issue at hand. Thus, Harris stands to lose Michigan and Pennsylvania, 2 swing states with large muslim populations, yet another failure on the pile for the dems.
Let’s get something out of the way. I’m not a liberal. So please stop arguing with the person you want me to be and try having a conversation with me.
If you assume that this poll is representative of the whole election then you are letting your bosses get in the way of reality. Right now it’s a statistical tie but with Harris ahead by 2 points. And on the electorial side Harris leads by 7 and is probably taking Michigan. But neither party is near 270 yet. So you might want to be less absolutist in your predictions.
The pole here states that this poll is an improvement for Harris from the last one they did. So if the trend continues your prediction is wrong.
Any time I see “far left” or “far right” I have to ask qualifying questions to figure out if they are the kind of person that always adds far to it no matter what the situation is.
If the left and the right politicians both agree on something then it tautologically can’t be far anything. Maybe the Overton window moved but it’s still the centrist position.
Dems have been doing pretty good for themselves lately. They’ve dominated every election since Dobbs.
