Poll Finds Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Adults Turning From Trump and Republicans

Burlington Plattsburgh, VT, October 19, 2026 —

A recent AP-NORC/AAPI Data poll finds growing disillusionment with President Trump and Republicans among Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander adults. The survey also indicates that Democrats hold a notable advantage on the economy and healthcare as the country approaches the midterm elections.

The findings point to a political shift among these adults on two issues identified in the poll summary as key concerns. However, the summary does not provide figures showing the size of the Democratic advantage or how respondents’ views have changed over time.

The poll’s full results, including its field dates, sample size, questions and methodology, were not provided. Without those details, the precise scale of the reported change and the basis for comparing views over time cannot be determined from the information available.

The findings describe attitudes among Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander adults; they do not establish how those views will translate into votes in the midterms. The summary also does not include results for other demographic groups or information about respondents’ views on issues beyond the economy and healthcare.

The poll offers a snapshot of sentiment ahead of the elections, with its central reported findings being increased disillusionment with Trump and Republicans and an advantage for Democrats on the two named issues. More detailed results were not included in the information provided.
