Poll: 85 Percent of Muslim Voters Picked President Obama

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the nation's largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, today released the results of an informal exit poll indicating that more than 85 percent of American Muslim voters picked President Obama in Tuesday's election.

[NOTE: A similar CAIR exit poll in 2008 showed that 89 percent of American Muslim voters picked then-candidate Barack Obama. Two percent of respondents said they voted for Sen. John McCain.]

CAIR's email survey of more than 650 American Muslim voters indicates that just four percent of respondents cast their ballots for Mitt Romney.
