Among other data, the 2012 Arab American vote poll will reveal finding on the following:

  • How Arab Americans will likely vote
  • What issues are most important to Arab Americans for the election
  • Shifts in Arab American voter identity and party affiliation
  • How the Arab American vote effects the general electorate

Of the 2012 survey, AAI President Dr. Jim Zogby said:

A significant number of Arab American votes are up for grabs in this election. As our data going back to the 1990s has shown, this is a population that votes in higher numbers than the general public. Our data shows substantive changes since the last presidential election poll in 2008. And Arab Americans represent sizable populations in a number of key swing states including Florida, Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Virginia—the places where the national campaigns are focusing their resources.

Dr. Zogby will present the findings at a press briefing in AAI’s offices. Those interested in attending the briefing should RSVP to Omar Tewfik at (202) 652-4988.
