• A national sample of U.S. persons of MENA (Middle Eastern and North African) descent (see below for precise definition) favored Vice President Kamala Harris (56%) over former president Donald Trump (32%).

• MENA respondents nationally ranked the economy, inflation, healthcare, and crime at the top of their list of issues affecting their decision for president.

• The MENA respondents favored Harris heavily on some domestic issues such as abortion: 62% said Harris would definitely or probably handle the issue better, compared to 26% who said Trump would definitely or probably handle better. However, MENA respondents rated abortion as only the 12th most important issue out of a list of 17.

• On handling the economy, 53% of MENA respondents said Harris would definitely or probably handle it better compared to 35% for Trump.

• Regarding the Israel-Gaza conflict, 50% said Harris would definitely or probably handle the issue better compared to 33% for Trump. For MENA respondents, this was the third-least important issue among a list of 17 issues.

• Generally, the MENA sample systematically rated all policy issues as more important than the general population; the biggest gap was for race relations and racism, followed by climate change, where the MENA respondents found the issue significantly more important than the general population.
