What We Know About Asian American Voters In 2020
Asian Americans make up roughly 5 percent of eligible voters in the U.S., but they’re a rapidly growing group in the U.S. electorate. According to one of the only polls that provides detailed crosstabs on Asian Americans -- the Asian American Voter Survey, conducted July 15 to Sept. 10 -- a majority of Asian Americans surveyed planned to vote for Biden this year.
That’s not surprising given that the group leans Democratic overall. But Asian American voters aren’t a monolith. While Indian Americans are much more likely to vote for Biden, Filipino Americans are more split. And Vietnamese Americans, who have historically leaned more Republican, are more likely to vote for Trump than they are for Biden.
