veiled4allah: Bush can't get out of single digits with Muslim voters veiled4allah: Bush can't get out of single digits with Muslim votersAmerican Muslim voters overwhelmingly support Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry over Republican George W. Bush, according to a new American Muslim Poll conducted by Zogby International for Georgetown University's Muslims in the American Public Square (Project MAPS). By a margin of 76% to 7%, Muslims back the Kerry/Edwards ticket over the incumbent Bush/Cheney ticket... ...When the question is expanded to include minor party candidates, Kerry's lead is cut to 68% versus Bush's 7%, with independent candidate Ralph Nader picking up 11%, similar to the 12% he garnered from Muslim voters in 2000. So pronounced is the movement away from Bush that he fails to capture even those Muslim voters calling themselves politically conservative, where Kerry leads him by a two-to-one margin.Meanwhile, another report indicates that the American Muslim Taskforce (the umbrella group for political activism) is planning to endorse soon. Given the polling reports, if the endorsement isn't for Kerry, there's something seriously wrong with the endorsement process.
The new poll also shows a migration away from the Republican Party by Muslim voters. In 2001, 23% of Muslims identified themselves as Republicans while 40% called themselves Democrats and 28% independents. Now, only 12% call themselves Republicans while 50% of Muslims are Democrats and 31% are independents.
