National survey of 1,000 likely voters was conducted May 4-5, 2012. The margin of error is +/- 3 percentage points.
Inside the numbers:
Voters under 40 see Americans as more hostile toward Muslims than they are toward us. Older voters have the opposite perception, that Muslims are more likely to be hostile to America.
Still, just 17% of all voters think most Muslims in America are treated unfairly because of their religion and ethnicity. But 57% don’t think American Muslims are speaking out enough against potential terrorist attacks in the United States.
Forty-six percent (46%) of those with an immediate family member currently in the military believe that most Muslims view the United States as an enemy, compared to 37% of those without a family member in uniform. There’s little or no difference between the two over American attitudes toward Muslims.
Sixty-two percent (62%) of Americans agree with that “maintaining clear boundaries between religion and government only serves to strengthen both.”
