2024 Post-Election Survey: AAPI Voters Shifted Rightward in their presidential vote choice and Have Mixed Views on Policy of Mass Deportation of Undocumented Immigrants

Commissioned by the Asian American Institute for Public Policy, this post-election survey of Asian American & Pacific Islander (AAPI) voters was conducted in November 2024 to provide detailed understanding of AAPI voter attitudes in the 2024 elections. Among the issues examined are how AAPIs voted in the presidential election both nationally as well as in seven battleground states, what issues were important to them in deciding who to vote for, and whether AAPI voters have shifted politically.

Immigration

What are Americans’ views of deportations?

According to the Pew Research Center survey conducted February 24 – March 2, almost one-third (32%) of U.S. adults support deportation of all immigrants living in the U.S. illegally. By race and ethnicity, White adults (39%) are more likely than Asian (22%), Black (19%) or Hispanic (16%) adults to say all immigrants in the country illegally should be deported.
About half (51%) of U.S. adults indicate that at least some should face deportation.

The Trump Presidency

New AAIPP survey finds that a majority of AAPI voters are dissatisfied with Donald Trump’s presidency in the first 100 days of his second term. AAPI voters generally disapprove of President Trump’s handling of the economy, inflation, tariffs & trade, as well as deportations of legal and undocumented immigrants.

Overall, a majority of AAPI voters are dissatisfied with Donald Trump’s presidency in the first 100 days of his second term. The contrasts in views are more pronounced by party affiliation or political leaning than by any other characteristics such as age, education, or income level.
