Poll: Most AAPI Adults Disapprove of Current Trump Administration Priorities and Policies
Climate change is one of Democrats’ clearest issue strengths with AAPI Americans, who widely disapprove of Trump’s handling of the issue. Nearly four in five AAPI adults (78%) say that they have already felt “major” impacts from climate change or expect to in the future, compared to a national average of 69% among all U.S. adults in other AP-NORC polling this year. More than any other major issue, AAPI Americans trust Democrats over Republicans to handle climate change and environmental issues. AAPI Americans are 41 points more likely to say that they trust Democrats (56%) than Republicans (15%) to better handle climate and the environment, which is the largest advantage for either party on any issue that was included in the survey. 71% of AAPI Americans disapprove of Trump’s handling of climate change–ranking it on par with the economy (71%) and trade negotiation with other countries (71%) as his weakest issues with AAPI Americans.
