Indian American voters overwhelmingly disapprove of President Donald Trump`s record at the White House, revealed a new study jointly conducted by AAPI Data and APIA Vote.Two out of three Indian American voters disapproved of the way Trump was handling his role as president; 28 percent said they approved of the president`s performance, while 4 percent said they did not know, according to the survey.The Asian American Voter Survey was released Oct. 9, as voters in 34 states — including California, Florida, Texas, and New Jersey, home to large populations of Indian Americans — began receiving `no-excuse` early voting ballots. Election Day is Nov. 6; several states, including California and New York, mandate that employers must provide at least two hours of paid time off for employees to go vote.Asian Americans could be the margin of victory in several significant races, stated Indian Americans Karthick Ramakrishnan, founder of AAPI Data, and Shekar Narasimhan, chairman and founder of the AAPI Victory Fund. Trump has galvanized the mid-term election, said Ramakrishnan, professor of public policy and political science at the University of California, Riverside, and founding director of the Center for Social Innovation He noted that the president`s rhetoric on a range of issues collide with the views of most Asian American voters.
