Muslim voters experienced a HUGE swing back to Democrats in the Nov 2025 elections

Muslim voters in the United States overwhelmingly favoured Democratic candidates in last week’s elections, amid mounting anger at President Donald Trump’s policies, a new exit poll suggests.

The survey, released by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) on Monday, shows 97 percent of Muslim voters in New York backed democratic socialist Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani.

Virginia’s Democratic Muslim American Senator Ghazala Hashmi also received 95 percent of the Muslim vote in the state in her successful bid for lieutenant governor, according to the poll.

Non-Muslim, more centrist Democratic candidates received strong backing from Muslim voters as well, the CAIR study showed.

Virginia’s Abigail Spanberger and New Jersey’s Mikie Sherrill – Democratic congresswomen who won the gubernatorial races – both received about 85 percent support from Muslim voters, according to the survey.

California’s Proposition 50, which approved a congressional map that favours Democrats, won 90 percent support from Muslim voters, the poll suggested.

Let's not forget how the whole 'family values' flim-flam has (consistently, and successfully) played to the minorities population.

They directly experienced his “policies” in his first term….there weren't any secrets this time around (but loads of Genocide Joe and Killer Kamala propaganda)

I mean, doesn't a very large helping of FAFO apply here as well? And, if not - why not?

A very large demographic of Muslims live in Paterson, Clifton, Prospect Park, and other municipalities.

Because of Gaza, a challenger to the late Rep. Bill Pascrell, Jr. emerged. The Mayor of Prospect Park, who happens to be Muslim.

While Pascrell won the primary (and later died), the voting block in November went for Trump as a protest vote against Harris (and vicariously, Biden). Our congressional district nearly went red after decades of voting for Democrats.

One year later, and not only did our district vote democratic overwhelmingly, but in our own town, the republican candidates for council were defeated by one candidate who is under indictment for racketeering and other crimes.
