John Zogby: How much power do Arab and Muslim voters have in the next US elections?

By Ray Hanania

CHICAGO: Veteran pollster John Zogby, president and founder of the polling company John Zogby Strategies, has said Arab and Muslim voters have more influence today than they have ever had since first settling in this country, and that the issue driving their vote is Gaza.

Zogby noted that the public needs to look at polls not in terms of who is “winning” or leading the race, but rather in which way the voter popularity of a candidate is trending.

Recent polls show that the majority of Arab and Muslim American voters favor third Party candidate Dr. Jill Stein of the Green Party, but that significant support is also shown for Vice President Kamala Harris who is expected to be named as the Democratic Party candidate for president at the Chicago Convention next week.

Chris Habiby: Green Party’s Jill Stein gaining support from Arab, Muslim voters in presidential race: Survey

By Ray Hanania

CHICAGO: Third Party Presidential candidate Dr. Jill Stein’s support of a two-state solution and an end to Israel’s brutal military offensive in the Gaza Strip is driving her popularity among Arab- and Muslim-American voters, says Chris Habiby, the national government affairs and advocacy director for the American Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee.

During an appearance on The Ray Hanania Radio Show, Habiby explained the results of an ADC survey conducted at the end of July. This poll showed the Green Party’s Stein with support from more than 45.3 percent of Arab and Muslim voters, while Vice President Kamala Harris received 27.5 percent. 

Former President Donald Trump and independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. received 2 percent and 1.3 percent respectively, according to the survey.

There are two big takeaways from the survey, Habiby said, with the first being how deeply unpopular President Joe Biden is within the Arab-American community across the country.
