Discontent with Kamala Harris' stance on Israel's genocidal war on Gaza has some Arab American and Muslim voters turning to Jill Stein, a shift that may prove crucial in race that opinion polls show Harris and Trump neck and neck.CAIR poll shows that in Michigan, home to a large Arab American community, 40 percent of Muslim voters backed the Green Party's Stein.
The poll, conducted by text message more than two weeks before the Harris-Trump September 10 debate, showed Harris leading Trump 29.4 percent to 11.2 percent, with 34 percent favouring third-party candidates including Stein at 29.1 percent. It said Trump would accelerate the killing in Gaza if reelected but Harris had not responded to its request she meet with Palestinian Americans who lost loved ones in Gaza and had not agreed to discuss halting arms shipments to Israel.
About 3.5 million Americans reported being of Middle Eastern descent in the 2020 US Census, the first year such data was recorded. Although they make up about 1 percent of the total US population of 335 million, their voters may prove crucial in a race that opinion polls show Harris and Trump neck and neck.
Stein's 2016 run ended with just over 1 percent of the popular vote, but some Democrats blamed her and the Green Party for taking votes away from Democrat Hillary Clinton.But her support for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza, for an immediate US arms embargo on Israel and for student movements to force universities to divest from weapons investments have made her popular in pro-Palestine circles.
