As opinion polls said Muslims are to vote him down, US President George W. Bush needs votes of the community to secure a re-election, American press reports said.

Christian Science Monitor was one of the newspapers underling the growing influence of Muslims in the November presidential elections.

With five million Muslims living concentrated in areas across the country, you end up with something that might look like a bloc and vote like a bloc, the paper said.

Polls in 2000 showed Muslims favored Bush over Al Gore by a wide margin - some showed support in the 90 percent range - and some groups argued that some 60,000 Muslim votes put Bush over the top in Florida. ..

The incumbent president? With a little work he may break out of the single digits with Muslim-American voters, the paper warned.
