(CNSNews.com) - American Muslim voters are overwhelmingly supporting Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry over Republican George W. Bush, according to a new American Muslim Poll conducted by Zogby International.
Zogby conducted the poll for Georgetown University's Muslims in the American Public Square (Project MAPS).
According to the telephone survey of 1,700 Muslims chosen randomly nationwide -- and an "over-sample of 146 face-to-face interviews of African-American Muslims" -- Muslims backed the Kerry/Edwards ticket over the Bush-Cheney ticket, 76-7 percent.
Adding Ralph Nader into the mix, Kerry's lead drops to 68 percent to Bush's 7 percent, with Nader picking up 11 percent support from Muslims.
"This is a stark reversal of fortunes from the 2000 election," when President Bush received 42 percent of the Muslim vote versus 31 percent for Democrat Al Gore, said Dr. Zahid Bukhari, director of Project MAPS.
According to a press release, the new Zogby poll also shows that Muslim voters are leaving the Republican Party.
In 2001, 23 percent of Muslims identified themselves as Republicans while 40 percent called themselves Democrats and 28 percent identified as independents. Now, only 12 percent of Muslims call themselves Republicans while 50 percent say they are Democrats and 31 say they are independents.
The telephone poll was conducted from August 5 through September 15, 2004, and it has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.3 percent.
Muslims Choose Wussy.
Terrorists support terror...
This only makes sense. Islam is threatened with a President in office Who will go after terrorism. They are voting for self preservation.
So the "religion of peace" nonsense and Ramadan celebrations at the WH didn't work as intended, eh?
Supports what I've always believed, that Muslims in American are silently supporting Islamic Terrorist and vocally supporting the democrat's 'Surrender & Go Home' Candidate!
Democrats can have them as far as im concerned. I would rather be the party aligned with Christians noted for their mission work and charity to the less fortunate.
Islam has charities alright, that line the pockets of Hamas and Al Qaeda.
We already know all terrorists are registered Democrats.
How informative. It's now obvious that American-Muslims hold their barbaric cult religion over their own country's national interests. It will only get worse. We ARE heading to a civil war of sorts.
That Muslims choose Kerry will turn off undecideds.
I would call it biting the hand that protects them.
"Adding Ralph Nader into the mix, Kerry's lead drops to 68 percent to Bush's 7 percent, with Nader picking up 11 percent support from Muslims."
Muslims love Nader?? Something smells here!!
Black voters scorned Bush in spite of his outreach attempts, and the "civil rights" gang lost their easy access to White House policy-making. Maybe if the Muslims desert Bush he'll decide (after the election) that there's no good reason to continue pandering to them with this "Religion of Peace" crap...
They don't care about being "protected". To convert or die for allah is the ultimate reward.
Cows voting for the butcher...
There you have it, Bush is toast.
Now if he'll only stop talking about their "religion of peace" and deport them to the arab nation of their choice.
Unlikely. As much as I support President Bush in his WOT, he has yet to understand the nature of our enemy.
The RNC should publicize this widely. Good for Bush.
I'm shocked!
