New poll shows Harris’ lead over Trump nearly 40 points among Asian American voters

Vice President Kamala Harris holds a significant lead over former President Donald Trump among Asian American voters, with 66% planning to support Harris compared to 28% for Trump. Harris has reversed a drop in support that President Joe Biden experienced among Asian American voters. The energy and vigor Harris brings to the election cycle have made a major difference. Asian American voters find Harris’ gender identity more important than her racial identity, with 38% saying it’s extremely or very important. Her outspoken support for reproductive rights has resonated with voters. The Asian American eligible voter population has grown by 15% in the last four years, making them the fastest-growing electorate in the U.S. Jobs and the economy are their top priority, with inflation and healthcare tied for second. The poll showed an increase in Harris’ overall favorability, with 62% having a favorable opinion of her. Turnout among Asian American voters is likely to increase, with 77% saying they are absolutely certain they will vote. Democratic Gov. Tim Walz is favored by 56% of Asian American voters as a running mate, more than twice the percentage that found Republican Sen. JD Vance favorable. Overall, Harris’ strong support among Asian American voters could be a key factor in the upcoming election cycle.
