Less than 40 percent of Republicans would vote for a Muslim to be president: poll

Only 38 percent of Republicans would vote for a Muslim presidential candidate, according to a recent poll.

Representative Keith Ellison takes his oath of office by swearing on a Koran during a ceremonial swearing in with Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi at the Capitol on January 4, 2007 in Washington, D.C. Win McNamee/Getty Images "There's kind of a calming feeling I always tell folks when I think of the Holocaust, and the tragedy of the Holocaust, and the fact that it was my ancestors, Palestinians, who lost their land and some lost their lives, their livelihood, their human dignity, their existence in many ways, have been wiped out...," Tlaib said in a Friday episode of Yahoo News' Skullduggery podcast.

Please never. Never.

Sounds like we need to replace more than 60% of Republicans.

How many would vote for a woman? Just curious...would not be surprised by a similar number...

Not me!

This was a given

Hmmm. Odd how that pretty much matches up with the number of Trump supporters. Everyone knows Trump is in office because his supporters are bigots and racists. But political correctness stops them from saying it. What ever happened with telling truth to power?

A rather unfair statement; same as the chances of a non-Muslim getting presidential votes in say, Malaysia.

To be fair, the GOP is racist AF.

Just not those Muslims

I hope that’s true...their beliefs are far too extreme, stay in your country with all the b.s. you blame on the Quran!

Resister3Horn But 90% of Rs would vote for a white nationalist/fascist.

So you are saying its about the same % of the overall number who support realdonaldtrump. Go figure...

We all saw the weak and feckless leadership from our last Muslim in Chief, we won’t survive 4 more years of failure.

WHY would we vote for a Muslim president AGAIN?

THAT MANY WOULD? No way in hell if they act like the current ones in the Senate. Totally anti- America.

Less than 40% of Americans will vote for a republican to be president.

Correct. No. I want a secular candidate. I don't want ANYone openly identifying with Judaism, xtianity, or Islam or any fringe crap. I want atheists leading our country. We need to start taking separation of church and state far more seriously than we do.

The Left & Democrats are equivalent to those who let the Trojan horse in...

I don't give a fuck as long as their policies make sense and I certainly wouldn't vote for professional victims like the new freshmen arrivals

Less than 40% of Republicans would vote for someone with at least half a brain to be president.

It wld b a cold day n hell b4 i ever voted for a muslim. Those n office hv proven they cnt handle public office

How many Muslims have the democrats nominated and made president? Only one of you’re counting Obama.

I believe the majority of both parties would not vote for a Muslim president.

56% of Republicans think we shouldn’t use Arabic numerals. LVI% 😂

So much for 'freedom of religion,' eh?

In other words: Trump's base.

It happened already so wtf?

A person who follows the Islamic faith.

reformist Muslims like Maajid Nawaz = 100% YES Islamist 5th columnists, Farrakhan fans and Sharia supporters like Omar = HELL NO.

From far away and with respect : America has a challenge under a multiculturalism . When you say “ In God we trust “ .. the question is whose God ? When I see American series on Netflix such as “Lucifer “ I wonder what American youth is currently learning about Christianity.

Lol

if they're republican the real number is likely much less than forty percent.

I thought we already had a Muslim President.

It’s obvious why.

Is a Muslim running Don’t you have enough silly questions?

Whst is it when you include general population?

We know.

Why are you so interested in the white supremacist vote?

No one cared what Republicans think

Democrats hate America so much they would elect Osama Bin Laden as president if they could.

Is this shocking to anyone?

put another way: more than 60 percent of Republicans are horrible.

Talking to your pet is not so wacky after all. It's actually good for you - and your healthMay is mental health month. Here is a fun fact: Talking to your pet can help you and your health by combating loneliness. I am all for it, as long as dog owners pick up their poop or better yet let them do it in their own yards. So, there is an actual narrative building that urges... Our government... To 'urge' people to interact with pets. Because playing or talking to your pet apparently leads to better health. Again: The government. Some people have lost their damn minds. Whether or not we interact with our pets is not the government’s concern. The government does not need to push us to do anything. This should be our own choice. Talk about over reach.
