    • Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders (AAPI) are among the fastest-growing racial demographic cohorts in the United States. With over 24 million individuals (including mixed-race) spread across the nation, this burgeoning population has emerged as the nation’s fastest-growing voter bloc. The unprecedented turnout rates witnessed in the 2020 presidential election and 2022 midterm elections underscore the increasing political influence of AAPI voters, often surpassing the margin of victory in key battleground areas.
    • 90% of Asian American voters say they plan to vote for President, Congress and other offices this November. A further 68% say that they are absolutely certain they will vote.
    • Among the most important issues for Asian American voters include jobs and the economy (86% say “extremely” or “very” important), inflation (85%), healthcare (85%), crime (80%), education (80%), Social Security and Medicare (79%), cost of housing (78%), national security (77%), gun control (73%), and immigration (71%).
    • Over a two-thirds majority (68%) of Asian American voters reported worrying about hate crimes, harassment, and discrimination “sometimes” (38%), “somewhat often” (17%), or “very often” (13%).
