72% of Muslim Super Tuesday Voters Disapprove of Biden’s Handling of Gaza War: Poll
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), said on Wednesday that its automated telephone exit poll of 568 Muslim voters who participated in the March 5th Super Tuesday presidential primary election found in the event of a snap election today, a combined 37 percent of Muslim voters would prefer a third-party candidate (19% split three ways) or an unnamed “other candidate” (18%) over incumbent President Joe Biden (36%) or Republican presidential nominee frontrunner Donald Trump (27%).
The survey also showed that 72% percent of Muslim Super Tuesday voters reported “disapproving” of President Joe Biden’s handling of the Israeli government’s war on the Gaza Strip.
Fifty-five percent of American Muslims who voted in the Democratic primary reported voting to renominate President Biden as the Democratic party’s presidential nominee, nearly even to the 25 percent who voted for an “other candidate” and 20 percent voted “uncommitted.” CAIR notes that Super Tuesday state primary ballots in Alabama, Colorado, Massachusetts, Minnesota, North Carolina, and Tennessee had “uncommitted,” “no preference,” or an equivalent option for voters to endorse.
CAIR recently announced a notable surge in the substantial representation of registered Muslim American voters nationwide, totaling 2.5 million individuals.

Responding to the exit poll results, CAIR Government Affairs Director Robert S. McCaw said:
“This primary season marks the continued rise of American Muslim voters, who have asserted their presence in our nation’s democratic process and ensured their voices are being heard. CAIR’s Super Tuesday exit poll shows American Muslim voters hold diverse perspectives, exercise political independence, and are deeply concerned about the ongoing genocide in Gaza. As November approaches, American Muslim voters are important political voices in key states, capable of deciding numerous races, including the presidency, and shaping the future of the nation.”
Last week, a CAIR and CAIR-Michigan exit poll of 527 Muslim voters who participated in Michigan’s presidential primary election found that 94 percent of American Muslims who voted in the Democratic primary voted “uncommitted.”
