By News Masher on November 6, 2023

A survey conducted by Joe Biden's former pollster has revealed a drop in support among Muslim and Arab Democrats in Michigan, a key demographic group that overwhelmingly backed Biden in the swing state in 2020. Rep. Rashida Tlaib and Rep. Pramila Jayapal have both called for a cease-fire in Gaza, with Tlaib accusing Biden of supporting "the genocide of the Palestinian people". The survey results suggest that Biden's handling of the war in Gaza could have a major impact on the 2022 midterms, and he will need to take decisive action to maintain the support of Muslim and Arab Democrats.
