Forty-one percent of Asian Americans support Barack Obama compared to just 24 percent who support John McCain, according to a comprehensive groundbreaking national survey released today in Washington.
But the most significant revelation is how Asian Americans are more undecided as a group compared to the national population. Thirty-four percent of Asian Americans say they have yet to make a choice, compared to 8 percent in the general population who say they are undecided.
That indicates APA voters have some clout in these remaining weeks of the campaign.
Finally a poll where we show up. National studies rarely show us at all. Not a large enough sample. Conclusion: We must not care or don’t have an opinion.
But this study shows that Asians can be included if poll originators really cared. This one did, and it’s scientific. No more guessing needed. No more odd extrapolations.
These numbers represent a break-through. We can quantify our political interest and involvement. If the parties are interested, we’re interested. The data is here.
