Poll: AAPI Adults' View of Trump Turns Less Favorable
A recent poll shows that Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander adults are becoming less fond of Donald Trump.
Many of these people worry about rising costs and the impact of tariffs.
The poll found that their unfavorable view of Trump has increased since last year, especially among those who don't identify with a specific political party.
Economic issues, like the fear of a recession and rising prices, are causing some of this change.
Many believe tariffs will increase consumer prices, and this concern may be influencing their views on Trump.
A new poll indicates a decline in favorable views of Donald Trump among AAPI adults.
Unfavorable opinions of Trump rose from 60% in December to 71% in July among AAPI adults.
Independent AAPI adults are especially likely to hold unfavorable views of the former president.
Economic concerns, particularly regarding tariffs, are a major factor in this shift.
About two-thirds of AAPI adults express concern about a potential U.S. economic recession.
