Poll: Muslims in Swing-State of Michigan Support Stein and Trump over Harris

The Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), America’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, recently released the results of their August 25-27 presidential election survey of 1,155 American Muslim voters. The news is surprising: In the swing state of Michigan, 40% of Muslim American voters support Dr. Jill Stein of the Green Party, 18% support former President Donald Trump, and only 12% support Vice President Kamala Harris.

Many Muslim Americans are unhappy with the Biden-Harris administration’s handling of the war between Hamas and Israel — a war which will see its one-year mark on October 7, when Hamas terrorists brutally attacked Israel — raping women, kidnapping more than 250, and murdering 1,200 men, women, and children.

Many of these Muslim Americans do not think Kamala Harris has been harsh enough on Israel nor supportive enough of Hamas — even though Harris’s policy proposal calling for a ceasefire and “two-state solution” has been weak and confusing. (Hamas has continually refused a ceasefire and a two-state solution. They want to eliminate Israel altogether.) These voters actually prefer Dr. Jill Stein’s policy which is even more radical than Harris’s. Stein states that she will “immediately end all military aid to Israel and adopt sanctions until Israel complies with international law to put an end to decades of violence, illegal occupation, displacement, dispossession, apartheid, and ethnic cleansing.”

While 40% of Muslims in Michigan support Stein, the candidate with the next highest support is Trump (18%), not Harris (12%). Many of these voters have been struggling to afford groceries, gas, electricity, housing, and other necessities during these last four years of the Biden-Harris administration and long for the days when they could afford these things under the Trump administration. Other Muslims are tired of LGBTQ indoctrination being pushed on their children and know that President Trump and Republicans stand up for parental rights.

Michigan has the 6th largest Muslim population in the United States, with Muslim Americans composing more than 2% of Michigan’s total population. Kyle Olson, publisher at The Midwesterner, said, “It is very possible this could cost Kamala Harris the state of Michigan.”
