Kamala Harris tied with Green Party candidate Jill Stein among Muslim voters, damning poll reveals
As the race to November accelerates, the pressure is piling on the Democratic administration to deliver on policy promises for Muslim Democrats — perhaps at the expense of Israel.
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%.
Why would they? She is currently materially supporting a genocide of arabs. No amount of words can resolve that
14Liberals downvoting this because they believe Muslim American voters should support the candidate that has promised to continue genociding muslims worldwide.
How low will liberals stoop?
6What she actually said was that she would fight for a ceasefire and sovereignty for Palestine...but without a weapons embargo. This raises the question: If you refuse to use the only thing you have leverage on, what good is your support?
I don't think that Harris has a plan. She might be more pro-Palestine than Biden, but without an embargo, she'll be just as ineffectual. I don't think that the US can do anything to stop the genocide except to quit sending Israel the money and weapons that they're using to commit the genocide.
4There are other things the US can do. Implement a no-fly zone on Israel, give federal backing to the BDS movement, enforce an ICC arrest warrant on Netanyahu, require Israelis with US citizenship to come back to the US or forfeit that citizenship, etc.
Obviously KKKamala HariSS won't do any of those things, but the US hypothetically could continue to sell arms to Israel while destroying their ability to wage war.
7I don't think that the US can do anything to stop the genocide except to quit sending Israel the money and weapons that they're using to commit the genocide.
This is correct, and is why Harris is promising to continue genocide.

Or maybe because it's a useless poll. It's so niche a group that it won't play any significant role in the election. This doesn't look like a post saying Harris is in trouble. It looks like a post saying Stein has a chance. Which they don't. So it's getting down voted because it contributes nothing of value.

I'm not at all surprised that Stein is more popular than Harris, but...DAMN, what did Cornel West do?!
The article says that previously Muslims supported Trump at 5% and Cornel West at 25%. Now they support Trump at 11% and West at 4%!
How does Donald Trump have almost 3 times the support?
4He started saying rfk had good ideas

Or is this why aoc started attacking stein?
4Several weeks ago, AOC did a huge post about how Biden can't be replaced because of back-room stuff that we don't know about, and besides, the Republicans would sue and it would be a huge disaster, etc. Of course, she fell in line once Biden actually did get replaced. It's hard to take her seriously with stuff like that.
