Jill Stein tops Kamala Harris among Muslims in battleground states

Recent polling indicates that Jill Stein, the Green Party candidate, is outperforming Vice President Kamala Harris among American Muslims in key battleground states. According to a survey by the Council on American-Islamic Relations, Stein leads Harris 30% to 28% overall, with significant support in Arizona, Michigan, and Wisconsin. In Michigan, where there is a large Muslim population, Stein has 40% support compared to Harris's 12%, while Donald Trump garners 18%. The polling reveals that Harris struggles to consolidate support within the Muslim demographic, which could jeopardize her campaign in these crucial swing states. Despite her efforts to appeal to Muslim voters, including calls for a ceasefire, her support remains low, particularly in Michigan, where she trails significantly behind both Stein and Trump. The data also shows that support varies among different age groups, with Harris performing better among voters aged 50 and older, while Stein captures a third of support among those aged 30 to 39. Trump's support among younger Muslims is notably lower, indicating a potential opportunity for Harris to regain some ground. Overall, the polling suggests that the Democratic nominee has not effectively engaged the Muslim electorate, which may have implications for her campaign strategy as the election approaches. The dynamics within this demographic highlight the challenges Harris faces in securing a solid voter base in battleground states.
