Final CAIR Poll Shows Statistical Tie Between Jill Stein and Kamala Harris Among Muslim Voters

The Council on American-Islamic Relations released its final 2024 presidential election survey on Friday, showing a statistical tie between Green Party nominee Dr. Jill Stein and Democratic nominee Kamala Harris among Muslim voters.

CAIR, a national Muslim civil rights and advocacy group, has polled Muslim voters multiple times throughout this election cycle, although it did not begin releasing its presidential polling results until August. For this latest survey, CAIR, in collaboration with pollster Molitico, surveyed 1,449 verified Muslim voters from October 30 to October 31. The organization reports a margin of error of 2.5%.

According to the survey, 42.3% of respondents support Green nominee Jill Stein, while 41% back Democratic nominee Kamala Harris. Republican Donald Trump garners 9.8% of respondent support, followed by 5.4% who said they do not plan to vote. Libertarian nominee Chase Oliver and independent candidate Dr. Cornel West earn 0.6% and 0.1%, respectively. The remaining 0.9% of respondents continue to be undecided. Percentages are used as specific vote totals were not provided.

The results show an increase in overall support for both Harris and Stein compared to CAIR’s August survey. However, the two candidates otherwise remain in a statistical tie among Muslim voters. In the earlier survey, Harris held 29.4% support among respondents, with Stein at 29.1%. Support for Trump has also been relatively stable, polling at 11.2% in August and experiencing a slight drop to 9.8% in this latest survey.

Cornel West, however, experienced a substantial decline in support, especially compared to early, unpublished data before President Joe Biden exited the Democratic primary. In that initial poll, partially released along with the August results, West had 25.2% support among Muslim voters. His support subsequently dropped to 4.8% in August and has now reached 0.1% in this latest survey.

The Muslim voters need to think through their votes very carefully. Putin has autocratically treated Muslims in Russia. Chechnyia was treated horribly, and now Muslims are either facing conscription for the Ukraine war, or expulsion from Russia because of their immigrant status. It is very unclear what Putin’s hopes, intentions, or plans might be regarding both Jill Stein and Donald Trump.

Strange things are happening with the Stein vote. Last week an early voter in Virginia entered her major party candidate’s name, but when she proofread her machine produced ballot she was surprised to see Jill Stein’s name, not the candidate she entered. She spoke to a poll worker, who said yes, another voter had made the same complaint. All voters must PROOFREAD THEIR VOTING FORMS CAREFULLY to be sure they are getting their candidate listed correctly.

I am particularly concerned by what I saw just before the 2016 election when it was reported both Jill Stein and Donald Trump had conferred for ONE HOUR with VLADIMIR PUTIN in RUSSIA. At a public meeting with many Green Party members attending, a GP member with relatives in Kiev expressed her concern that Jill Stein had spent an hour with Putin. You will remember that this was a year or two after Putin occupied Crimea and sent his “little green men” into eastern Ukraine. Four or 5 GP members shouted her down, and subsequently she reported odd things happening to her on-line financial matters. The Green Party is strongly divided between far, far left, and moderate, a little left of center, participants. I have seen far left leadership do their best to prevent more centrist Greens from succeeding politically in that party.

When Jill Stein participated in a recent forum with 2 other minor party candidates, she gave a very strong statement expressing concern for the Israel situation and the many deaths of Palestinian residents. She carefully avoided any mention of Ukraine. The strong actions of Israel’s government against Hamas are the result of Hamas’s murder of over 1,000 innocent Israelis a year ago. Two weeks before this slaughter, Hamas leaders met in Moscow, then moved on to Iran to finalize whatever plans they were making to create major trouble.

Putin says he prefers for Harris to win tomorrow, but given his multiple phone calls with Trump since that pre 2016 presidential vote it looks to me that he prefers for Trump to win. It is generally thought that Stein votes tend to come from unhappy democrats rather than from republicans. I have also seen in the past that a Russian owned company has worked with the election systems in several US states. The idea of FIXING voting machines to produce a different name when certain names are entered is diabolical to say the least and must be investigated. How many states besides Virginia have had their voting machines tricked out like this? Remember PROOFREAD YOUR MACHINE BALLOTS. Is this another Putin effort to affect our elections?
