Shock Poll: Donald Trump Earns More Muslim Support Than Rest of GOP Field Combined
Breitbart ^ | 3 Mar 2016 | John Nolte

Posted on 03/03/2016 3:12:01 PM PST by mandaladon

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR)–an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation terror financing trial, and a designated terror organization in the United Arab Emirates–conducted a poll of 2000 Muslim voters throughout six Super Tuesday states. The results, released Wednesday, were surprising.

While Democrats Hillary Clinton and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) 16% earned 46% and 25% support, respectively, Donald Trump has the support of 11% of Muslims, more than the rest of the GOP field combined.

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) 79% comes in second with 4%, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) 97% wins 2%, John Kasich just 1%.

Among Republican Muslims, their number one concern is the economy (38%), followed by Islamophobia (14%), health care (12%), and foreign policy (10%).

“That’s fine concerning the primary, but when you look at the national numbers, it’s not even close. 82% of Muslims are gonna vote for the Democrat. Not really something to brag about.”

That will be NEGATED by Trump getting another 2% of the white vote.

But the MESSAGE it sends is PERFECTLY CLEAR - which is that for the vast majority of Muslims - hating Trump is much more important than helping to stop the killings of ‘the infidel’.

Uhh, I’m pretty sure those numbers would have been close to the same whether Trump was in it or not.

I’ve always wondered how many nominal Moslems wanted to get out, to be free, but did not dare say a word.

I figure 50% is a good starting point. Can't imagine any woman would want to live like that.

I know a couple muslims who are also solid patriotic Americans.

I haven’t asked them, but they probably support Trump.

“EAT ME LAST” are the words of the person who tries to appease the alligator, hoping to be spared, but who in fact is merely eaten last.

muslims are all democrats. If they support Trump nominally, it would be because of the fiction they are too dumb to discern: That Trump is the easiest one for hildebeeste to defeat.

My guess rather than American Muslims being disconnected from their terrorist brothers, they might be impacted by the media coverage of Donald's "neutrality" statement vis a vis Israel and the palestinians, the Farrakhan and Duke "endorsements", which are touted as anti Israel. While I don't see these as legitimate issues, they resonate on the left and in the media.

It’s a little bit unfair as well — since he’s leading his nearest opponent by nearly two to one... :’)

BINGO. The overwhelming number of Muslims who come to the west want to better their lives, don’t support theocracy and want to get away from the lunatics at home. As always, the Media concentrates on the villains, the misanthropes and Obama patronizes and coddles the radicals. Its all part of the self-hating agenda of the far left.
