MICHIGAN, Dec. 20, 2023 ~ With President Joe Biden further slipping down the 2024 presidential election polls, members of his own party are chiming in on how he could regain approval ratings.
Democrat Rep. Debbie Dingell (MI-6) recently said in an interview with NBC’s “Meet the Press” that “there’s a lot that has to be done” to rebuild Biden’s dwindling support from Arab Americans amid his backing of Israel‘s military incursion on Gaza, which has killed about 20,000 people in the seized territory. The swing state of Michigan, which has one of the largest populations of Muslim and Arab Americans in the country, played a key role in Biden’s victory over Trump in 2020, having won it by only 150,000 votes.
“We have got to get a ceasefire. This has to stop,” Dingell said in the interview. “If anything good comes out of this crisis, we need everybody to come together and get a strong two-state solution.”
A recent Lake Research Partners poll of Michigan Democrats found only 16% of Arab American and Muslim voters would vote for Biden if the election was held today, with another John Zogby Strategies poll finding that Biden’s support from all Arab Americans has plummeted to 17%. When it comes to Michigan voters at large, a recent CNN poll showed Biden trails Trump by 10%.
