With the US presidential election just two weeks away, a recent poll conducted by the Arab News Research and Studies Unit and YouGov reveals that Arab Americans are divided in their preferences for the upcoming election. While former President Donald Trump appears to be gaining support from grassroots segments of the Arab American community, younger and more civically active Arab American students lean towards supporting Vice President Kamala Harris. The poll also highlights that bread-and-butter issues like the economy dominate voters' concerns, with a majority of Arab Americans prioritizing economic issues over the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Additionally, the poll suggests that Arab Americans are open to supporting a candidate perceived as pro-Israel, giving Trump an advantage. However, there is a noticeable reluctance among Arab Americans to support military action against Iran and its proxy forces. The impact of the Arab American community in the election remains to be seen, but it is clear that this community will become increasingly important in the future.
