in 2024, 56% of young men voted for Trump. in 2026, the GOP did not win a majority of men in *any* racial category

Four years ago, a common saying was AAPI voters are the margin of victory. Today, we are part of the party base. 🌊🌊🌊
The reason I keep harping on the absence of reporting on Asian Americans as a voting constituency is because, for example, young Asian voters were *the most Democratic-leaning demographic* of any constituency of U.S. House voters. You wouldn’t know it in polls with a big, shapeless “other” bucket!

For generations, Asian Americans & Pacific Islanders were shut out of U.S. politics — but that's changing. The 2026 midterms delivered several historic firsts, including an all-time high number of AAPI lawmakers in Congress. Meet the five newly-elected AAPI leaders headed to Capitol Hill in 2027 ⬇️
Voters send a record number of AAPI Democrats to Congress
The Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus is on track to have its largest AAPI membership in history.

More history in California. Fiona Ma, currently our state Treasurer, will become the first AAPI Lieutenant Governor in California history.

Now, we will have a record of at least 26 AANHPI Members of Congress, including at least 22 AAPI Members in @capac.house.gov, another historic record.

We made HISTORY last night! With at least 22 AAPI members poised to join @capac.house.gov next year, our communities will have their strongest representation yet. I couldn’t be prouder to lead this caucus into its next chapter.

Probably also underreported just how racist the GOP has gotten about AAPI folks too.

But we had an incredible night as a community, from Suhas Subramanyam to Aruna Miller as incumbents, to Pia Dandiya with some much-needed good news in Florida, to Ami Bera & Pramila Jayapal as stalwarts, to getting to watch Nithya pull this win out (!). One more way history was made.

Young AAPI men are significantly more Democratic than young white women according to this.

I think this is the first poll I've seen where there's data for nonbinary voters, unsurprisingly most of us vote Democratic.
Though also wondering - what kind of poll has enough data to report nonbinary voters as a separate category but not enough data to split out AAPI and Native American voters?

NBC has some fairly comprehensive national exit polls up, so their polling data site (linked in following post) is worth bookmarking. I imagine some numbers will move in the coming days as final tallies come in, but as of right now, the national all-voter numbers look like this:

looks like I was wrong about the above. Here's Tufts' numbers for 2024 - Black men were actually 20 points behind Black women in that election, 35% voted Trump. so actually this election is a big swing in the blue direction in this specific demographic
