After the 2024 presidential election and second inauguration of President Donald Trump, ISPU conducted its seventh American Muslim Poll, fielded by NORC at the University of Chicago between April 2 and May 8, 2025. The genocide in Gaza—declared by the International Association of Genocide Scholars—and the crackdown on student protesters created a difficult environment for American Muslims, marked by censorship and rising Islamophobia. In response, many Muslims withheld their votes from President Biden and later nominee Vice President Harris in protest, while others backed the Democratic ticket or voted for Trump. This survey examines how Muslims ultimately voted in 2024, their policy priorities, satisfaction with Trump, and experiences with discrimination.
The American Muslim Poll 2025 updates the demographic profile of American Muslims and compares their views with Jews, Catholics, Protestants, white Evangelicals, and the non-affiliated, using oversamples for deeper insight. Respondents were asked about their voting in 2020 and 2024, political engagement, and satisfaction with Trump-era policies. For the fifth time, ISPU measured the Islamophobia Index, revealing how attitudes toward Muslims have shifted amid the war in Gaza and over time. The report concludes with key recommendations on addressing the challenges facing American Muslims today.
