This fall, Asian American voters could help deliver key battleground districts in states like California and Texas to Democrats.

According to a February survey of 600 Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) likely voters conducted by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and the polling firm GBAO, these voters favor a Democratic candidate on the generic congressional ballot by 33 points. For the presidential election, AAPI respondents preferred the Democratic candidate to President Trump by 28 points. Those margins are more than enough to exceed the survey’s 4-point margin of error.

The findings from the survey suggest that AAPI voters — who typically haven’t received much outreach from either political party — could be a huge opportunity for Democrats in the general election.

The conclusions also echo those of surveys conducted by AAPI Data and Pew Research in 2018, which found that AAPI voters have increasingly leaned Democratic. In the 2018 election, 77 percent of AAPI voters supported a Democratic House candidate.
