Asian American support for Donald Trump was 5 points higher this election cycle than in 2020, marking a slight shift to the right.

The NBC News Exit Poll of early and Election Day voters indicated that 54% of Asian American voters chose Harris, while 39% voted for Trump. Harris lost seven points compared to Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) support for Biden in 2020.

Karthick Ramakrishnan, founder of AAPI Data, said that the polling shows a continuing shift that began with the 2016 presidential election cycle and Trump’s entry into the political arena.

“2012 represented the high-water mark in Asian American support for a Democratic presidential candidate, and it has been going down ever since,” he said. “The pendulum has started to swing back.”
