Harris looks to capitalize on momentum with Asian-American voters
Vice President Harris is showing signs of strength among Asian American voters as her campaign ramps up its outreach to the country's fastest-voting demographic.
A Tuesday poll from AAPI Votes and AAPI Data showed that inroads Trump had made within the AAPI community when President Biden was still the nominee have largely disappeared: two in three AAPI voters plan on backing Harris, while 28 percent plan on voting for Trump. In April, less than half of AAPI voters polled planned on voting for Biden.
The poll comes amid a concerted Harris campaign effort to reach out to 15 million eligible Asian American voters. The campaign says it has hired AAPI-focused staff in each swing state and rolled out ads targeting ethnically based newspapers, TV stations and radio outlets in swing states.
Those polled reported that they were 25 percent more likely to have heard from the Harris campaign than former President Trump.
