ALBAWABA - According to a recent survey by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), 42.3% of Muslim voters in the United States said they would vote for Dr. Jill Stein of the Green Party in the presidential election scheduled for November 5.
A change in voter choices is highlighted by the study, which was conducted from October 30 to 31 among 1,449 Muslim voters nationwide. Dr. Stein was favored by 42.3% of respondents, making her the most popular option.
According to the study, 41% of Muslim voters back Democratic candidate Kamala Harris, who is ranked as the second pick. Meanwhile, 9.8% of respondents supported Donald Trump, the Republican candidate.
Additionally, the study reveals that 0.9% of respondents are still unsure and 5.4% of those surveyed do not intend to cast a ballot. The others expressed a preference for other candidates.
"The poll highlights high engagement among American Muslim voters, with 95% actively participating in this election cycle," said Nihad Awad, director of CAIR.
Awad said that Muslim voters' choices have been significantly impacted by their discontent with the United States' backing of Israel's policies in Gaza. "We have a clear message for American Muslims: vote regardless of who you decide to support. "Show the strength of our community in states across the nation—don't remain silent," Awad said.
In the last survey conducted by CAIR in late August, Trump had 11.2% of Muslim support, while Harris had a modest lead of 29.4%, followed closely by Stein at 29.1%.
The election result may be significantly influenced by the estimated 2.5 million Muslim voters in the United States, many of whom live in important swing states.
