Greenville New Bern Washington, NC, October 19, 2026 —
A new AP-NORC/AAPI Data poll finds that Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander adults are losing trust in President Trump and Republicans as the midterm elections approach.
The poll also indicates that Democrats hold a significant advantage among these adults on two key issues: the economy and healthcare. The summary of the findings does not specify how large that advantage is or how respondents’ views compare with earlier polling.
The information provided does not include the poll’s field dates, sample size, margin of error, exact questions or numerical results. It also does not detail how trust in Trump or Republicans was measured. Those figures and methods would provide further context for interpreting the findings.
The reported results describe views among Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander adults, but no breakdown by age, location or other demographic groups was provided. The summary also does not say whether the poll examined respondents’ voting intentions or their views of individual candidates.
The findings point to an issue-based advantage for Democrats on the economy and healthcare alongside declining trust in Trump and Republicans among the population covered by the poll. Further details about the survey were not included in the available summary.
