Survey Finds Texas South Asian Voters Favor Democrats Amid Rising Racism Concerns
A recent survey of South Asian voters in Texas reveals strong support for Democratic candidates James Talarico for Senate and Gina Hinojosa for Governor amid rising experiences of racism and discrimination. Around 60-66% back these Democrats over their Republican opponents, Ken Paxton and Greg Abbott. The survey also found that 65% of South Asians voted for Kamala Harris in 2024, with many reporting hate incidents linked to race, ethnicity, or immigration status. This demographic's voting patterns are seen as influential in the closely contested Texas midterm elections.
