BACKGROUND: As the 2024 national general election approaches, America’s estimated 2.5 million Muslim voters are positioned to once again play a crucial role in shaping the political landscape.
Over the weekend, CAIR sent over 300,000 text messages reminding registered Muslim voters across the county, including key swing states, to plan to vote and turn out on election day. CAIR sent a second-round follow-up message on Monday to 300,000 voters reminding Muslims about Tuesday’s general election.
Last Friday, CAIR released the results of its latest and final poll of Muslim voter preferences in the 2024 presidential election show that 42% now favor Green Party nominee Jill Stein for president while 41% favor Vice President Kamala Harris. This is a statistical tie similar to the 29% support each candidate received in CAIR’s late August survey.
