Asian-Americans Like Clinton,Not So Much Trump.

++Asian-Americans voted for Obama in 2012 73%-26%,a higher percentage than Hispanics. But their 2014 exit polls showed them divided by party roughly 50-50. 

++Ed Kilgore at New York reads the new Asian-American/Pacific Islander national poll. Democrats are now favored oiler Republicans by 66 to 19.  President Obama's approval rating is 67-23%. 

++Trump is at 19-61% approval. He is best among the Vietnamese at 22 to 57% and worst among the Koreans at 10 to 80%.

++Hillary Clinton stands at 62% approval--26% disapproval rate. Even among younger Asians, she is at 55 approve-32% disapprove. And Bernie is at 48 to 22%.

++Kilgore points out the importance of this data because Asians, one of the fattest demographic groups used to vote Republican. With their support for Hillary Clinton, it is good news for her in California.
