LAS VEGAS — Muslims snubbed Vice President Kamala Harris on Election Day over her stance on the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza, with about 80% rejecting her at the ballot box, an exit poll reveals.
Despite pre-election polling that put the veep at 41% support among Muslim voters, the Council on American-Islamic Relations’ exit survey shows she only garnered 20.3% — a precipitous drop from the 69% President Biden captured in 2020.
Green Party candidate Jill Stein elbowed Harris out of first place, winning 53% of Muslim voters, and President-elect Donald Trump even trumped Harris in the demo with 21.4% of those votes.
That’s an improvement from his performance four years ago, when he won just 17% of Muslims.
Stein and Trump both outperformed pre-election polling, which indicated they’d earn 42% and 10% support respectively.
Harris, on the other hand, underperformed the 41% support she was projected to receive pre-election.
The defeated Democrat — who reportedly made different, contradictory campaign pitches to Jewish and Arab-American voters over Gaza — fared even worse in Michigan, where Muslims form a crucial voting bloc. A slim 14.3% of Muslims there said she was their pick versus 59.1% for Stein and 22.4% for Trump.
The Harris-Walz campaign did not return The Post’s request for comment.
“Our final exit poll of American Muslim voters confirms that opposition to the Biden administration’s support for the war on Gaza played a crucial role, leading to a sharp drop in support for Vice President Harris compared to the support President Biden received from Muslim voters in 2020,” said Robert S. McCaw, who heads government affairs for the group.
CAIR bills itself as the nation’s largest Muslim advocacy group. Molitico Consulting conducted the poll on CAIR’s behalf from Nov. 5 to 6, with a confidence interval of 95% and about a 2.5-point margin of error.
