A report<http://aapidata.com/spring-2016-survey/> commissioned by non-partisan AAPI advocacy groups released today found that Asian-Americans reject Donald Trump by more than a three-to-one margin. Only 19 percent of AAPI voters have a favorable impression of Trump, while 61 percent have an unfavorable impression of him. AAPI voters have clearly been turned off by Donald Trump's anti-immigrant rhetoric and offensive impressions of Asians<http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/donald-trump-mocks-asians-broken-english-speech-article-1.2338344>, but unfortunately for Republicans - the trend lines don't stop at Trump.

The poll also shows more and more AAPI voters are identifying as Democrats, and that the Democratic Party polled consistently stronger than the GOP on policy issues across the board, including the jobs and the economy, immigration reform, education and health care.

AAPI voters are also significantly more enthusiastic<http://aapidata.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Inclusion-2016-AAVS-may23web.pdf> about the 2016 election as compared to the 2014 election.

"The GOP Autopsy of 2013 was clearly dead-on-arrival, and look no further than Donald Trump as evidence of that. His divisive and racially offensive rhetoric has turned off Americans across the board. In contrast, President Obama and the Democrats are fighting every day to advance issues that matter to the AAPI community. We must elect another Democrat to the White House this November." - Shu-Yen Wei, DNC Spokeswoman

An excerpt from the Los Angeles Times coverage is below:

Asian American voters are flocking toward the Democratic Party and do not like Donald Trump, according to a new poll conducted for several Asian American advocacy groups.

The survey, which asked about the political leanings of 1,200 Asian American registered voters, found the percentage of Asian Americans who identify as Democrats has increased over the last four years from 35% to 47%.

The survey also found that 61% of Asian Americans have an unfavorable view of Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee.
