Hillary Clinton holds a massive advantage over Donald Trump among Asian-Americans who are registered to vote, according to the results of a National Asian American Survey to be released Wednesday afternoon.
Clinton trounces Trump among Asian-Americans with 55 percent support to the real estate moguls 14 percent support. Eight percent of registered Asian-American voters favor another candidate.
Among the 16 percent who are undecided, 7-in-10 lean toward Clinton, while just 20 percent are closer to backing Trump and the remaining 10 percent are likely to support another candidate.
Clintons lead over Trump among Asian-Americans is in part because more than 4-in-10 registered voters surveyed identify as Democrats. An equal amount, however, consider themselves nonpartisan, while just 16 percent said theyre Republicans.
In 2012, 35 percent of registered Asian-American voters identified as Democrats, 18 percent Republican and 47 percent nonpartisan.

Second, are you saying that your family was actually involved in the building of the railroads?

(41,831 posts)Secondly, I am Japanese and Hawaiian Native. My family was probably in Japan in the 1800s well, some of them, the rest were Kicking Captain John Cook's Ass when he returned to Hawaii during a major Pacific Storm after taking advantage of Hawaiian Hospitality. That's what happens when you treat someone like GOD's Servants.

(61,694 posts)More Blue in their votes. And if their names on the voting rolls help distinguish them as Asian-Americans and probable democratic voters, then they are likely to start seeing vote suppression in states with Republican administrations.
I think Thom Hartmann had a guest in the last few weeks explaining this new trend and how the cheaters will work it.

(41,831 posts)Republican Racists HATE to lose, and will find many ways to be dishonest, because they THINK THEY are GODs Chosen saviors of America. They brought Blacks over to work their cotten, fought off the Hispanic and Native Americans to steal their land, and SHANGHAIED Chinese to build their Railroads, not to mention STOLE the Entire State of Hawaii from a bunch of us Ungodly Heathens.
Why Buck a long traditional system?

(61,694 posts)Now that they see the shift from Red to Blue, they'll extend their ops accordingly, just as they've done with others, including Native Americans.

(41,831 posts)Like California and New York. Huge Chunk in Hawaii too though I am not quite sure what color that is these days. But Lots of Asians have moved all over the United States, including a large number of Hong Kong Chinese, and Vietnamese who came over after that war. Cambodians, Japanese, Thai, Filipino-Filipina, Koreans, and Taiwan people. There are also many Indian and Pakistanis ...Asians from all over have come here. You CAN BET Republicans just hate that... (how do they get along with Bobby Jindal, I have no clue)
