As the race to November accelerates, the pressure is piling on the Democratic administration to deliver on policy promises for Muslim Democrats — perhaps at the expense of Israel.

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%.

    I’m not at all surprised that Stein is more popular than Harris, but…DAMN, what did Cornel West do?!

    The article says that previously Muslims supported Trump at 5% and Cornel West at 25%. Now they support Trump at 11% and West at 4%!

    How does Donald Trump have almost 3 times the support?
