On October 1st, we published American Muslim Poll 2020: Amid Pandemic and Protest, the fifth annual poll of attitudes and policy preferences on issues concerning American Muslims across faith and non-faith groups. (And there's still time to register for our webinar on civic engagement today!) This nationally representative survey includes groundbreaking data on Americans who are Muslim, Jewish, Protestant, Catholic, white Evangelicals, and non-affiliated. This research will inform journalists, policymakers, advocates, organizers, educators, and the general public for years to come.
