New polling makes it clear that adherents to the Islamic faith aren’t rushing to support Kamala Harris this November. To the contrary, she’s fighting Green Party candidate Jill Stein for the lead.

A poll of 1,159 Muslims released Thursday by the Council on American-Islamic Relations shows Harris and Stein tied at 29%, with 11% of the cohort’s support going to Donald Trump, 4% to Cornel West, and 1% to Libertarian Chase Oliver. A significant 9% say they aren’t voting.

Incredibly, this represents growth for Harris from the previous CAIR poll of 2,500 Muslims conducted before the vice president became the nominee, but was never released.

In that previously unreported survey, 36% backed Stein and 25% supported West, with President Biden drawing 7% and Trump at 5%.

    Liberals downvoting this because they believe Muslim American voters should support the candidate that has promised to continue genociding muslims worldwide.

    How low will liberals stoop?

      I saw a smuglord post 'kindly fall in line' (speaking to a harris dissenter) on the lib-verse the other day and i thought they were lampooning libs at first but after several re-reads they were for real.

      They can't hear themselves. I thought liberals mostly just held the door open for fascists but that oft-used quote about bleeding is true, huh.

      Fuck me

        In times of crisis, the mask slips and outright falls. This is only going to happen more frequently from now on.

          Capitalism in decay.

          I'm not sure the left is ready, but we must work quickly, either to remove the taint and prevent further spread, or to plan for the inevitable.
