From the New York Post: Former President Donald Trump’s standing among Muslim-American voters has notably improved from four years ago, according to a new poll.
Trump, 78, would have the support of 30% of Muslim voters if the 2024 election were held today, compared with the 23% he earned against Joe Biden four years ago, according to a survey by the Rainey Center, a self-described “post partisan” public policy research nonprofit.
Vice President Kamala Harris would receive 62% of the Muslim vote, according to the survey, which drew from a sample that was 49% registered Democrats, 28% registered independents and 18% registered Republicans.
Three-fifths of those polled (60%) said they broke for Biden in 2020.
The 600 Muslim-American voters who participated in the poll listed their top concerns as the economy and crime, and 65% said they are “extremely” or “very” concerned about the war between Israel and Hamas.
Other issues they said they were “extremely” or “very” concerned about including “rising transgender medical treatments for minors” (51%), “the rise of the far-right ‘MAGA’ ideology” (51%), the “erosion of parental rights in American public education” (53%) and the “teaching of sexually explicit materials to children in public schools” (61%).
Despite their responses on individual issues, a majority said the Democratic Party aligned with their view of things more closely than the Republican Party.
About 82 percent said they are “definitely” or “probably” voting in the November 5 election.
