A recent AP-NORC/AAPI Data poll reveals that Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islander (AAPI) adults have grown more disillusioned with President Donald Trump and the Republican Party as the November midterm elections approach.

The survey, conducted from September 8 to 15, shows that only about one-quarter of AAPI adults approve of Trump's overall job performance, with just two in ten approving of his handling of the economy, a key issue for this community.

This shift has given Democrats a significant advantage on major topics such as the economy and health care among AAPI voters nationally.

The poll results indicate changing political attitudes among AAPI adults across the country, which could influence election outcomes in the upcoming midterms.

As the midterms draw closer, these findings highlight the importance of addressing the concerns of AAPI communities nationwide.
