Education, Healthcare, Economy, Racial Discrimination, and Environment are Top Concerns
WHAT: APIAVote and AAPIData
The survey reveals many insights on the fastest-growing racial group in the United States, including their voting plans for House and Senate races in 2018, and various issue priorities such as education, health care, and the state of the economy. Democrats hold the advantage on voter enthusiasm, the generic ballot vote and on many key issues, but Republicans fare more favorably on national security and draw even on the economy and taxes. In addition to election-related topics, the survey also contains key opinion data on affirmative action, labor protections, and immigration policy, including the administration’s recently announced plans to revoke the legal status of immigrants with green cards who have used government assistance.
