Do Muslims differ from other Americans on gender-and-politics questions?
Sample size = 25,284
This GSS graph shows the percent of Americans separated by religion who would vote for a female for President. You can see the Muslims are not out of the mainstream (there are 16 Muslim respondents). Thirteen percent of them say no compared to 14 percent of all Americans. Muslims are a young population, and younger people have more modern views of gender roles.
Sample size = 26,970
People were also asked if they agreed with, "Most men are better suited emotionally for politics than are most women." (In other words, are men better liars). Muslims are more somewhat more traditional on this question: 40 percent of them agree compared to 31 percent of all Americans. (There are 47 Muslims in this sample.)
