Detroit Evening Report: Kamala Harris, Jill Stein tied with American Muslim voters, poll says

The Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) has released results of a poll of American Muslim voters.

Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris and the Green Party’s Jill Stein are tied at around 29%, with 16% of Muslim voters stating they are undecided and 11% planning to vote for former President Donald Trump.

CAIR conducted the election survey two days after the Democratic National Convention ended last month. The organization said 1,500 people responded to the survey out of a random sample of 40,000 Muslim voters across the nation.

The survey results show that Stein has more support in Arizona, Wisconsin and Michigan — while Harris is favored in Georgia and Pennsylvania.

...lots of people are voting against their own interests, so it is possible the 11% of Muslim voters will vote for trump. Just as 13% of Black Americans favor trump.
Stupidity is color-blind, and to think otherwise is racist.

Only1,500 people responded to the survey out of a random sample of 40,000. That is 3.75%. Stein then got 29% of 3.75% - 435 out of 40,000 who received the survey.

38,500 did not bother to respond to this push poll.

From the CAIR website:

CAIR, in collaboration with Molitical Consulting LLC, designed the
survey questions and obtained a proprietary, randomized national list
of 40,000 registered Muslim voters from 50 states, Puerto Rico, and
Military members serving overseas. The survey was distributed to
this dataset
from Sunday, August 25, to Tuesday, August 27, with 1,478
responses received, 1076 of which were verified and matched to the
national voter file.

got Canadian citizenship is learning more about US politics now. His perceptions of us before moving to the ‘West were interesting and we’ve had long convos about them over the years.

Anyway, he has several Lebanese friends, now US citizens, in Michigan and they were going to be non-voters because of recent events. My friend (hopefully) convinced them that not voting was a vote for the Menace. He claimed he got us 4 Michigan Muslim votes.

I just sent him this survey/poll telling him who Stein is in case his friends start hedging …

If Trump wins, he will bring back a bigger, badder Muslim Ban 2.0 and it will be directly attributable to this nonsense.

Of course, at that point, the Stein voters will expect the rest of us to drop everything and fight for them, when their nonsense is the reason it is happening in the first place.

9. Kamala Harris Surges Among Jewish Voters

Kamala Harris is surging among Jewish voters according to a new poll released by the Jewish Democratic Council of America. Among those polled, Kamala Harris takes in about 72% of the vote with Donald Trump earning 25% of the vote.

Harris is winning back Muslim voters by supporting Palestinians without alienating Jewish voters by abandoning Israel.
Perhaps she knows what she's doing.
