The poll is the latest warning sign to Democrats that the war in Gaza is costing support among a key voting bloc.
Donald Trump is narrowly leading Kamala Harris among Arab Americans as the race for president of the United States enters the final stretch, a new poll suggests, the latest sign that the war in Gaza is costing Democrats support among voters with outsized influence in a key battleground state.
Trump leads Harris 45 percent to 43 percent among the key demographic with two weeks to go until voters choose the next US president, according to the Arab News/YouGov poll released on Monday.
The Republican candidate is also seen as more likely to successfully resolve the Israel-Palestine conflict, leading his Democratic rival 39 percent to 33 percent on the question, according to the poll.
Trump and Harris are tied at 38 percent on the question of who would be better for the Middle East “in general”.
Asked which issues were the biggest concern to the Arab-American community, 29 percent of respondents chose the Israel-Palestine conflict, ahead of 21 percent who picked the economy and the cost of living and 13 percent who chose racism and discrimination.
