a new exit poll suggests.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<section class=\"more-on\">\n<h2 class=\"more-on__heading\">Recommended Stories<!-- --> <\/h2>\n<p><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">list of 3 items<\/span><span

successful bid for lieutenant governor, according to the poll.<\/p>\n<p>Non-Muslim, more centrist Democratic candidates received strong backing from Muslim voters as well, the CAIR study showed.<\/p>\n<p>Virginia\u2019s Abigail Spanberger and New Jersey\u2019s Mikie Sherrill \u2013 Democratic congresswomen who won the gubernatorial races \u2013 both received about 85 percent support from Muslim voters, according to the survey.<\/p>\n<p>California\u2019s Proposition 50, which approved a congressional map that favours Democrats, won 90 percent support from Muslim voters, the poll suggested.<\/p>\n<p>CAIR said it interviewed 1,626 self-identified Muslim respondents for the survey.<\/p>\n<p>The group said the results showed high turnout from Muslim voters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese exit poll results highlight an encouraging truth: American Muslims are showing up, speaking out, and shaping the future of our democracy,\u201d the group said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAcross four states, Muslim voters demonstrated remarkable engagement and commitment to the civic process, casting ballots that reflect their growing role as active participants in American life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The November 4 election, one year ahead of the 2026 midterm elections that will determine control of Congress, offered a boost for Democrats.<\/p>\n<p>But the race for New York, which saw Trump endorse former Democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo, saw a spike of Islamophobic rhetoric, particularly from Republican lawmakers and commentators.<\/p>\n<p>CAIR said Muslim voters showed that they are rising up in \u201cthe face of anti-Muslim bigotry\u201d to \u201cbuild a better future for themselves and their neighbors, proving that participation, not prejudice, defines our nation\u2019s strength\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The survey\u2019s results show that the Democrats are recovering the support of some Muslim voters who deserted the party in last year\u2019s presidential election due to former President Joe Biden\u2019s uncompromising support for Israel amid the brutal assault on Gaza.<\/p>\n<p>CAIR said it recorded 76 Muslim candidates in last week\u2019s election, 38 of whom won.<\/p>\n<p>In Michigan, the Detroit suburbs of Hamtramck, Dearborn and Dearborn Heights elected Muslim mayors in the polls.<\/p>\n<p>Several Muslim candidates are vying for seats in Congress in next year\u2019s election, including Abdul el-Sayed, who is seeking a US Senate seat in Michigan.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br
