Asian Americans in the 2018 Mid-Term Election
« on: November 28, 2018, 08:36:53 am »
A 2018 Asian American Voter Survey, published Oct. 9, found that Democrats are at an advantage with the Asian-American electorate this midterm election. Democrats also held an advantage in voter identification, with 38 percent of those surveyed identifying as Democrats compared to 22 percent as Asian American Republicans. Thirty-eight percent said they did not identify with either party.

When asked about Trump's job in office, a majority said they disapproved of his performance (58 percent), while 36 percent approved. This sentiment was not uniform among all ethnic groups: A majority of surveyed Vietnamese Americans approved of Trump (64 percent), the only surveyed group to do so. Filipino Americans were equally split, with 48 percent approving and 48 percent disapproving. Japanese-American voters gave Trump the lowest approval rating (14 percent).

2018 Mid-Term Election is starting on Oct 22nd. On November 7, Kimberly Yee announced her victory in the Arizona State Treasurer race 2018, making her the first female Chinese-American Republican to be elected in a major statewide race in the country's history.
