Using an original database on French mosques, this article analyzes the relationship between the presence of mosques and support for the Front National at the polling station level in the late 2000s. It finds that the propensity to vote for the Front National increases in polling stations up to intermediate distances from mosques and then decreases, suggesting a spatial mechanism known as the halo effect. The analysis also shows that larger mosques and those with minarets are associated with an accentuated halo effect, suggesting the importance of the salience of minority groups rather than their relative size in influencing political behavior. date: 2024-10-14 date_type: published publisher: Sage Publications id_number: 10.1177/00104140241283015 official_url: http://tse-fr.eu/pub/129869 faculty: tse divisions: tse language: en has_fulltext: FALSE doi: 10.1177/00104140241283015 view_date_year: 2024 full_text_status: none publication: Comparative Political Studies refereed: TRUE issn: 0010-4140 oai_identifier: oai:tse-fr.eu:129869 harvester_local_overwrite: creators_idrefppn harvester_local_overwrite: creators_halaffid harvester_local_overwrite: pending harvester_local_overwrite: note harvester_local_overwrite: ispublished harvester_local_overwrite: date harvester_local_overwrite: publisher oai_lastmod: 2025-01-09T09:41:13Z oai_set: tse site: ut1 citation: Dazey, Margot and Gay, Victor (2024) The Mosque Nearby: Visible Minorities and Far-Right Support in France.
