Poll Indicates Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Adults Shifting From Republicans

Clarksburg Weston, WV, October 19, 2026 —

A poll by AP-NORC/AAPI Data indicates that Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander adults are showing increased disillusionment with Republicans and President Trump as midterm elections approach. The summary of the poll also says Democrats have a notable advantage on major issues, including the economy and healthcare.

The findings point to a shift in views among the adults covered by the poll, but the information provided does not specify how large that shift is or how the poll measured disillusionment. It also does not give figures showing the size of Democrats’ advantage on the two issues.

The poll’s precise field dates, sample size, margin of error and question wording were not provided. Without those details, the results cannot be assessed for their scale or compared in detail with earlier polling. The information also does not establish why respondents’ views may have changed.

The findings concern Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander adults as a group, according to the summary. No breakdown by age, location, or other demographic characteristics was provided. The summary does not indicate whether the reported views apply to every subgroup within that population.

As the midterm elections approach, the poll offers an indication of how this group views the parties on prominent issues. It does not provide information about voting intentions, likely turnout or election outcomes. Those details, as well as the underlying survey figures, were not included in the information available.
