American Muslims We don't want Trump or Kamala Harris... Jill Stein might be the solution

A new poll has shown that Arab and Muslim American voters angered by US aid and support for Israel's occupation of Gaza are moving away from Kamala Harris and supporting the Green Party candidate in the upcoming presidential election, Jill Stein.

The position is likely to deny the Democratic party candidate to win in important states that will determine the fate of the US presidential election on November 5.

A poll conducted by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) in late August and published this month shows that 40% of Muslim voters in the state of Michigan - which has a large Arab-American community - support Jill Stein, who is running for Green party ticket.

The candidate of the Republican party, Donald Trump, has received 18% of the vote, while Kamala Harris is close behind with 12%.

The Green Party is on the electoral rolls in many states, including all the competitive states that could decide the outcome of the next US election except Georgia and Nevada, where the party is fighting a legal battle to be included on the electoral rolls. 

An opinion poll conducted earlier this month showed that Stein has a wide lead over Harris and Trump in 3 of the 7 states described as "decisive" in the presidential election despite the diminution of his chances of winning the election due to the control of historic Democratic and Republican parties in the race to the White House.

Jill Stein, who openly supports the cause of the Palestinian struggle and has chosen a Muslim to hold the position of vice president if she wins.

The appearance of the independent candidate creates confusion in the positions of Muslim voters, who are divided between those who see that voting for Stein is a waste of those votes, and those who believe that there is an urgency to discipline Harris and Trump due to their position on the war in the Gaza Strip.
