Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton is poised to clinch majority of Muslim votes in the upcoming U.S. presidential election, according to a new survey by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR).

(Reuters/Lucy Nicholson) U.S. Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton speaks at a fundraiser in San Francisco, California, U.S.A., October 13, 2016.

Based on the CAIR poll, 72 percent of Muslim voters intend to vote for Clinton in the Nov. 8 presidential election. Only four percent expressed intention to vote for Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, Christian Today reports.

In addition, the CAIR survey found that three percent revealed their intention to vote for Green Party candidate Jill Stein, and only two percent expressed support for Libertarian Party candidate Gary Johnson.

According to 62 percent of the respondents in the poll, the Republican Party is unfriendly to Muslims. In contrast, only two percent said the same thing about the Democratic Party. Moreover, 91 percent of the subjects believe that temporarily banning Muslim immigrants from America is a wrong move.

"This survey shows that American Muslims are both worried and hopeful," CAIR national executive director Nihad Awad said. "They are worried that Islamophobia is becoming violent and acceptable with no push back by our nation's leaders, and hopeful that their high turnout — with more than one million votes — will swing the election and make their voices heard."

On Oct. 9, an undecided Muslim voter had asked Trump and Clinton during the second presidential debate about how they would help Muslims who are being labeled as a threat to the country. Trump responded by highlighting "radical Islamic terrorism" as the problem and saying Muslims have to disclose extremists, Charisma News recalls.

Clinton, on the other hand, said the problem lies in "violent jihadist terrorists" and not Islam. This, says Charisma News, is the reason why the Democratic presidential nominee has majority of the Muslims' support.

For CAIR Government Affairs Director Robert McCaw, the latest survey indicates that Trump and Clinton can still woo American Muslim voters by tackling the growing Islamophobia and the erosion of civil rights in the United States.
