Trump Loses Ground Among Indian-American Voters, Poll Finds

Published: 1 September 2026 · 1 min read

What Happened

A new survey by AAPI Data found that Indian-Americans continue to strongly favor Democrats ahead of the November 2026 US midterm elections. Among respondents, 66% said they plan to vote for Democratic candidates in both House and Senate races, while support for Republicans ranged from 18% to 22%. The survey suggests a decline in support for President Donald Trump compared with gains he made among Indian-American voters during the 2024 election cycle.

Key Takeaways

The findings indicate that Indian-Americans remain one of the most Democratic-leaning voter groups in the US. With economic issues such as inflation and cost of living ranking among top concerns, voter preferences within this influential diaspora could play a role in closely contested districts during the November midterms.
