A new poll from the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) shows that Democratic nominee Kamala Harris and Green Party candidate Jill Stein are almost evenly split in support from Muslim voters. Stein has a slight edge with 42%, while Harris holds 41% of the Muslim vote, according to CAIR’s final survey.
The poll also shows that 10% of Muslim voters support President Donald Trump, while 5.4% do not plan to vote, and 0.6% back Libertarian candidate Chase Oliver. The survey was conducted from October 30-31 and included 1,449 Muslim voters, with a margin of error of +/-2.5%.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations released its final 2024 presidential election survey on Friday, showing a statistical tie between Green Party nominee Dr. Jill Stein and Democratic nominee Kamala Harris among Muslim voters.

CAIR National Executive Director Nihad Awad remarked on the high turnout expected within the Muslim community, with 95% indicating they plan to vote. Awad also mentioned that the ongoing conflict in Gaza is impacting voter choices, urging Muslims to participate actively in this election.
Stein’s choice for vice president, Butch Ware, may have drawn attention among Muslim voters. Ware, a Black Muslim professor, has been critical of Zionism, describing it as a “white supremacist” ideology. His views may resonate with Muslim voters who share concerns over Middle Eastern issues.

As Harris and Stein vie for Muslim support, CAIR continues to encourage voter turnout within the community. The close numbers between the candidates indicate a split electorate, making every vote significant as November approaches.
