Muslim voters split equally between Harris and Stein
A recent poll by the Council on American-Islamic Relations shows a significant shift in Muslim-American voter preferences.
More than a thousand Muslim voters have been surveyed.
The majority of Muslim voters are split between third-party candidate Jill Stein and Vice President Kamala Harris: 29% of voters are leaning towards Stein; and the same percentage favors Harris.
The survey highlights a 40% drop in support for Democrats from the 2020 election.
Experts attribute it to the discontent over US policy on Palestine.
Only 26% plan to back the Democratic Party, while 60% are leaning toward third-party or independent candidates.
The Biden administration’s stance on the Gaza war is a major factor in this shift.
Council on American-Islamic Relations reports there are more than 2.5 million registered Muslim voters in the US.
