    Asian Americans’ political preferences have flipped from red to blue

    Asian Americans used to be a reliable Republican voting bloc.

    they shifted to support the Democratic Party.

    This is true across ages, genders and ethnic origins of Asian Americans – including
    Indian, Chinese, Filipino, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese and Hmong.

    Asian Americans preferred in bent Republican President George H. W. Bush to Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton, a Democrat, by 24 percentage points – 55% to 31%.

    73%-26% split in favor of Obama over former Gov. Mitt Romney of Massachusetts in 2012, and

    a
    65%-27% preference for Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump in 2016.

    Preliminary data from late August 2020 polls shows Biden leading comfortably among Asian Americans as well.

    Since 2000, the Asian American population has climbed 87%, now exceeding 22 million.

    Asian American voting rates increased from 27% in 2014 to 40% in 2018,

    which is a big jump for a midterm election, showing an increased willingness to participate politically.


    In that same period, the number of Asian Americans eligible to vote has
    more than doubled,

    making it the fastest-growing racial or ethnic group in the electorate.


    Almost all Asian groups now back Democrats

    The "OH NOES! TRUMP HELD AN INDOOR RALLY!" news stories that CNN has been running on a never ending loop have gotten as dull as the "TRUMP SAID SOMETHING MEAN ABOUT TEH WOMENZ!" stories from 4 years ago.

    If CNN/MSNBC really want to help Biden they should start talking about the economy.

    ‘Economic chaos’:

    MSNBC’s Morning Joe keeps hearing worrying whispers from business leaders


    bankers are predicting “economic chaos” and another depression for next year, no matter who wins the election.

    he’s been speaking with contacts in the financial world who are worried that economic inequality will worsen next year, but he said that issue seems to be underreported by the media.

    they all told me the same thing,

    they say get ready for 2021,

    it doesn’t matter who gets elected,

    there’s going to be a depression,” he added.

    “I keep hearing the word depression,

    what they’re seeing from their clients are

    people that have held out for six, seven, eight, nine months on the verge of collapse,

    people that own property.

    They’re all saying the same thing,

    the rich are going to get richer,

    the poor are going to get poorer,

    cash is going to be king in 2021 and

    there is going to be economic chaos again.”

    Which “war” did this “white house peace deal” propaganda -

    end?

    The imaginary war somewhere in the middle east that the arsonist in chief is taking credit for?

    They're about ratings above everything, and unfortunately viewers are too stupid for discussions on the economy. They'll tune right out.

    I guarantee most of the ad sales teams at those networks are hoping for a Trump reelection. He's great for ratings.

    New CNN poll has Biden up by double digits in Wisconsin and a few points in NC as well.

    We might finally be seeing an effect from the Woodward tapes.

    I think it's that but also the fact the "liberal media" subtly pushes right wing economic theory. The last Biden interview I saw on CNN they asked him "How are you going to improve the economy if you're also increasing taxes on the wealthy!" which further engrains viewers with the idea that low taxes for rich people = great economy! The people controlling mainstream media outlets don't want viewers thinking wealth inequality is a problem.

    GOP candidates for congressional offices are apparently avoiding using Trump in their ads.

    He's vote poison.

    I'm in disbelief that all of the senate GOP candidates in tough races have done almost nothing to distance themselves from Trump (even Susan Collins would rather look like an idiot by refusing to say who she's voting for than take a stance against Trump).

    After the 2014 s acking and how bad the 2018 senate midterm map was for Democrats, I thought it might be another 10-15 years before we see a Democrat controlled senate.

    According to this poll, Biden's lead among latinos there is similar to Hillary's 2016 numbers. Only running 4 points behind her perfomance among latinos.

    That's negligible. Still doesn't mean he needs to stop worrying about this group.

    If no stimulus gets passed, 2021 will be way worse than 2009.
