The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, today released the first set of results from its 2024 exit poll of 1,575 verified American Muslim voters.
The national results show Green Party candidate Dr. Jill Stein received 53% of the Muslim vote, followed by President-elect Donald Trump with 21% and Vice President Kamala Harris with 20%.
CAIR also released Michigan-specific responses from 502 registered Muslim voters, revealing that Dr. Stein received 59% support, with Trump at 22% and Harris at 14%.
CAIR’s national exit poll survey was conducted by Molitico Consulting LLC via text message to a randomized list of verified registered Muslim voters on November 5-6, with a confidence interval of 95% and a margin of error of +/- 2.47 percentage points. CAIR’s final pre-election poll showed Stein and Harris statistically tied at 42 and 41 percent with Trump trailing at 10%.

In a statement, CAIR National Government Affairs Director Robert S. McCaw said:
“We applaud American Muslims for their participation throughout the 2024 election season despite deep disillusionment due to the Gaza genocide. Through their activism during the primaries, their engagement with various presidential candidates, and their high turnout in the general election, American Muslims made their voices heard and reaffirmed their important place in our nation’s politics.
“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, and a sharp rise in support for third party candidate Jill Stein. President-Elect Trump also managed to make in-roads with Muslim voters.
“All elected officials and political parties must recognize the importance of engaging with Muslim voters about issues important to the community, from critical kitchen-table topics like the economy, healthcare and student debt to legal issues like civil rights and religious freedom to global issues like the genocide in Gaza. We encourage our community to keep making their voices heard in the weeks, months and years ahead.”
