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%.

    Several weeks ago, AOC did a huge post about how Biden can’t be replaced because of back-room stuff that we don’t know about, and besides, the Republicans would sue and it would be a huge disaster, etc. Of course, she fell in line once Biden actually did get replaced. It’s hard to take her seriously with stuff like that.
