Survey Shows Indian-American Voters Favor Democrats Over Republicans Ahead of 2026 Midterms
Ahead of the November 2026 US midterm elections, surveys show a significant shift among Indian-American voters toward Democratic candidates, with about 66% supporting Democrats for both House and Senate races, compared to roughly 18-22% backing Republicans. This marks a reversal from the 2024 presidential election when support for Trump increased among this community. Key concerns influencing voter preferences include cost of living, inflation, healthcare, racism, and US-India relations. The broader Asian American and Pacific Islander electorate also favors Democrats, with high anticipated voter turnout.
