Washington:
A week from now, America will understand who their next Plivent will be. The contest between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump has been a acrid one, which has left much of the US splitd and poloccurd. A group that has ecombined as a beginant one is that of Indian-Americans.
The more than 5.2 million-strong Indian-American community, eligible to vote, has ecombined as a group that can potentiassociate striumphg the election outcome towards either honestate.
Now the second-bigst immigrant group in the United States, the Indian-American community have historicassociate prefered the Democratic Party in overwhelming numbers. However, the Reaccessiblean Party has extfinished felt that the community’s votes are beginant and hence the party has alterd its policies on the economy, social publishs, and stewardship of the US-India bitardyral relationship.
This election, there has been fantasticer intensify on the Indian-American community since there is a possibility that for the first time in American history, a honestate of Indian heritage – Democratic nominee Kamala Harris – could occupy the highest office in the country.
As people of Indian heritage carry out an increasingly beginant electoral role in deciding who will be the next US Plivent and how that will shape America’s future, an extensive survey was carry outed by the Carnegie group to comprehfinish how Indian-Americans will vote.
THE SURVEY, THE FINDINGS
The survey, carry outed in partnership with research and analytics firm YouGov, finds that as the November 5 elections approach, Indian-Americans remain constantly behind the Democratic Party, though there is an uptick in help for Reaccessiblean honestate Donald Trump as well.
The survey shows that from Kamala Harris’s perspective, six out of every ten Indian-Americans favour the Democrats, while from Donald Trump’s point of see, one in every three persons of Indian heritage is foreseeed to vote for him.
The survey also proposes that there is a think aboutable gfinisher factor to it too. “Sixty-seven per cent of Indian American women intfinish to vote for Harris while 53 percent of men, a beginantly petiteer dispense, say they structure to vote for Harris,” it shows, inserting that “Twenty-two per cent of women intfinish to vote for Trump while a beginantly bigr dispense of men, 39 percent, structure to cast their ballots for him.”
The survey should also come as a stress for Democrats as it shows that “Forty-seven per cent of reactents recognize as Democrats, down from 56 per cent in 2020.” For the same time period, the dispense of Reaccessiblean helpers has held constant while the percentage of self-reliants has lengthenn.
It also uncovers that the Indian heritage factor does not always labor for every honestate. People who took the survey showed that Indian-American Reaccessibleans such as Nikki Haley, Vivek Ramaswamy, and Usha Vance (wife of Reaccessiblean vice plivential nominee JD Vance) were rated unpreferably by Indian-Americans.
According the the research, the publish that was rated highest among Indian-Americans was ‘inflation’ and ‘cost of living’ which was tied with ‘state of the economy’ and ‘jobs’, shutly chaseed by ‘abortion and refruitful rights’.
