Six in 10 Americans Would Say “Yes” to Muslim President
by Frank Newport
The Gallup Poll
9/22/15

Where does the American public stand on the idea of voting for a Muslim for president? This issue is back in the news as a result of Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson’s statement on NBC’s Meet the Press Sunday that, “I would not advocate that we put a Muslim in charge of this nation. I absolutely would not agree with that.”

Carson’s sentiment on this issue is out of sync with the American public, 60% of whom in June said they personally would vote for an otherwise well-qualified candidate for president who happened to be Muslim. Attitudes toward a Muslim president were measured as part of a broader question that asked Americans if they would vote for an otherwise well-qualified candidate who fit one of 11 different descriptions. Six of the 11 related to religion: Catholic, Jewish, Mormon, evangelical Christian, Muslim and atheist.
