A recent poll from the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) indicates a tight race between Kamala Harris and Jill Stein among Muslim voters. Stein currently holds 42% of the Muslim vote, while Harris follows closely with 41%, making for a nearly even split between the two candidates.
The poll also shows that President Donald Trump has garnered 10% support from Muslim voters, with 5.4% saying they will not vote and 0.6% supporting Libertarian candidate Chase Oliver. Conducted on October 30-31, the poll surveyed 1,449 verified Muslim voters with a margin of error of +/-2.5%.

Nihad Awad, CAIR’s National Executive Director, highlighted the high level of engagement from Muslim voters, noting that 95% plan to vote. He cited opposition to U.S. support for Gaza as a key issue influencing Muslim voter preferences, urging all eligible Muslims to “make their voices heard” in this election.
Stein’s choice of running mate, Butch Ware, may be a contributing factor. Ware, a Black Muslim professor at the University of California Santa Barbara, has been outspoken against Zionism, describing it as “white supremacist.” His addition to Stein’s ticket is seen as an appeal to issues important to many Muslim voters.
