Muslims in the US face most discrimination, according to a poll of registered voters published on March 8.
The poll carried by HarrisX for The Hill website found that 85 per cent of respondents believe Muslims face discrimination while 79 per cent said Jews are discriminated against.
Some 61 per cent of respondents said Christians face discrimination, while 55 per cent said atheists face discrimination.
The poll’s release comes during a week in which an anti-hate resolution was passed in Congress to condemn anti-Semitism, Islamophobia and other forms of bigotry.
The Hill-HarrisX poll was conducted March 1-2 among 1,003 registered voters. The sampling’s margin of error was plus or minus 3.1 percentage points.
