| Muslim exit poll percentages: Kerry-93, Nader-5, Bush-1 |
| 2004-11-03 |
| Yesterday's preliminary results of an exit poll by a prominent national Islamic civil rights and advocacy group indicate that more than 90 percent of Muslim voters are casting their ballots for John Kerry in today's election. It's all over now, that 93% lost BIG time!) In that early survey of 537 Muslim voters, conducted by the Washington-based Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), 93 percent of respondents said they voted for Kerry, 5 percent favored Ralph Nader and less than 1 percent said they supported President Bush. In the key battleground state of Florida, a CAIR sampling of 335 Muslims who cast their votes today or in early polling shows that 95 percent voted for Kerry and just 3 percent voted for President Bush. Ralph Nader received under 2 percent of Muslim votes. In Ohio, a similar sampling of 222 Muslim voters showed 86 percent voting for Kerry, 4 percent for Bush and 10 percent for "other" or a third party. "We are seeing an unprecedented level of voter mobilization by the American Muslim community in this election," said CAIR Executive Director Nihad Awad. "I believe Muslim voters have come of age and will be a factor in all future elections." If this is an example the GOP has nothing to be concerned about |

| #3 I'm glad that they so clearly identified their position. It should help the formulation of future policies. |

| #2 So this means that Bush can safely ignore that particular constiutency? Not that I would like that, or anything..... |

| #1 Oh, good. Are the "scholars" in town again? Sounds like they also did Kerry's exit polling on the side... |
