Former Trump Official Meets With Arab and Muslim American Leaders
New York TimesMAY 12 2024
An Arab News/YouGov poll released on Monday found that former Pres. Donald Trump is leading his Democratic opponent, Vice Pres. Kamala Harris, among Arab Americans, 45% to 43%.
Green Party candidate Jill Stein polled third at 4%, with 6% still undecided and another 2% not revealing their preference. 500 Arab American voters were surveyed nationwide late last month, with a margin error of plus or minus 5.93%.
The poll also found that Trump is more trusted than Harris, 39% to 33%, to successfully resolve the Israel-Palestine conflict despite being seen as more supportive of the current Israeli government, and to handle the economy, 47% to 41%.
DemArab Americans may be disappointed with the Biden administration over its response to the war in Gaza, but nothing justifies sitting out this election or wasting the vote on a third-party candidate — let alone voting for Trump. This is the most consequential election in US history, and Arab Americans have no choice but to vote for Kamala Harris.
