Survey finds Gaza looms large for Arab Americans
Washington, DC – The Biden Administration’s handling of the crisis in Gaza has eroded Arab American support for Democrats, resulting in a now evenly divided community. The results show former President Trump and Vice President Harris in a dead heat.
The new nationwide poll conducted online from September 9 to 20, 2024, examines Arab American voter preferences in the presidential election, issues of concern influencing their vote, and some measures of their civic engagement. It is a follow-up to a special October 2023 poll that showed a marked decline in support for President Joe Biden among Arab American voters and is the first to gauge presidential preferences since Vice President Kamala Harris became the Democratic nominee.
The Arab American Institute (AAI) has conducted polls of Arab Americans for 30 years. As part of AAI’s voter education and mobilization work, Yalla Vote was launched as an integrated voter engagement project in 1998 and Yalla Vote tracking poll questions have helped inform policy priorities. The poll’s findings will have major implications for the 2024 elections, especially in key states with the highest concentration of Arab American voters.
