Exit polls were wrong about how many Asian Americans supported Trump

A striking majority of Asian-American voters backed Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump, according to a national poll.

The Asian-American National Election Eve Poll concluded that 75% of Asian Americans voted for Clinton, while only 19% voted for Donald Trump—a much wider margin than found by exit polls, which reported 65% of Asian Americans voting for Clinton.

“Once again, the national media exit-poll numbers for Latinos and Asian Americans didn’t do it right and didn’t get it right,” Taeku Lee, UC Berkeley political science professor and the survey’s lead researcher, said in a release.....

Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPIs) are increasingly poised to shape U.S. elections. For two decades, they’ve been the nation’s fastest-growing racial group and one of its fastest-growing electorates. Since 2000, the AAPI electorate has grown by 620,000 voters with each presidential cycle. By 2040, one in every 10 Americans will be AAPI, and the number of AAPI voters will double to 12 million.

With so many elections determined by unnervingly small margins, Asian Americans have the power to influence outcomes, Ichinose said....

In key swing states, Asian Americans boosted votes for Clinton, with 83% supporting her in Pennsylvania, 78% in Virginia, 73% in North Carolina, and 72% in Florida.....

As a whole, Asian Americans held liberal stances on many big issues; most supported protection for undocumented immigrants, the Affordable Care Act, stricter gun laws, and LGBTQ rights.

“I’ll trust exit polls over ‘scientific’ polls any day. Their scientific polls are created with junk science.”

What do you mean? They accurately predicted the victory of Madame President Elect Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Oh, wait...

All i actually know about the subject is that the “Asian” vote hereabouts went almost exclusively to Trump outside of Moslems.

Democrats are much better at handing out political sinecures to Asian community leaders, who in turn convince the community (especially new immigrants or those with limited English proficiency) that white rednecks are waiting in the bushes to kill them so they have to vote Democrat to stay safe. Chinese communities in particular tend to live completely apart from American culture, speaking their own languages, watching their own TV channels, and eating their own food almost exclusively - even if many of them have jobs in American companies. They are easy prey for slimy Asian-American Democrat community organizers who speak their language and know how to play on their fears.

Plus all their kids go to liberal colleges and bring home reinforcing Leftist messages. An immigrant with no particular political understanding other than a familiarity with authoritarian rule back home will thus naturally gravitate toward Democrat policies.

‘I am of the opinion that a nation composed of a babel of peoples cannot long endure.”


That is exactly the goal of the Socialist Democrats and their fellow travelers for The United States of America. A nation so mired in divisiveness that it will fall. Mass illegal immigration of those who do not share our values, refusal to enforce the law, and unequal treatment *favoritism toward one group because of past actions), and the demeaning of those who protect us are their tools.
