The survey - entitled Muslim Americans, Middle Class and Mostly Mainstream - estimates the number of adult Muslims in the US at 1.5 million, and says 65% are immigrants.
Among native-born Muslims, about half are African American - many of whom are converts.
Overall, the study says, Muslim Americans have a positive view of US society at large.
Most say their communities are excellent or good places to live.
As many Muslim Americans as members of the general public express satisfaction with the state of the nation, the authors say.
Moreover, 71% of Muslim Americans agreed that people could get ahead in the US by working hard - the figure for the general public was 64%.
"The life situations and attitudes of Muslim Americans stand in contrast with those of Muslim minorities of Western Europe."
Pew Global Attitudes surveys last year in the UK, France, Germany and Spain found that most Muslims there suffered unemployment and felt marginalised.
The latest poll suggests that US Muslims reject Islamic radicalism by larger margins than do Muslims in other parts of the world.
It is, however, a dogma that Europe can learn nothing from the USA.
