Survey Finds Indian-American Voters Favor Democrats Over Republicans in 2026 Midterms
A recent survey by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and YouGov shows 62% of Indian-American voters plan to support Democratic candidates in the 2026 US midterm elections, compared to 19% backing Republicans. The survey of 1,000 Indian-American adults indicates a decline in Republican support since the 2024 presidential election, reflecting a backlash against Donald Trump. Democratic support remains strong, especially among men aged 40 and older, while Republican gains have not translated into sustained congressional backing.
