The entire world is watching the midterm elections to be held in America on November 3. These elections are considered very important for President Donald Trump. Meanwhile, a new survey has come out, which will increase the difficulty for Trump. According to the survey, Indian-American voters are increasingly leaning towards the Democratic Party.
Sixty-two percent of people are expected to vote in favor of Democratic candidates in the midterm elections, according to a new survey released Monday. While only 19 percent support Republican candidates. These statistics reflect the growing disillusionment of the Indian-American community with President Donald Trump and his Republican Party.
Leaning towards democracy
According to the Indian American Attitude Survey (IAAS), conducted in partnership with the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and YouGov ahead of the midterm elections, Democrats have a 43-point lead over Republican candidates. The survey found that 62 percent of citizens are planning to vote for the Democrats in the House (House of Representatives) elections, while 19 percent will vote for the Republicans. And in Senate elections, Democrats lead with 63 percent to Republicans’ 21 percent.
Survey among 1000 Indian-Americans
The survey was conducted online between October 7 and 27 among 1,000 Indian-American adults, with a margin of error of 3.87 percentage points.
In an article published Monday, Sumitra Badrinathan, Devesh Kapoor, Annabelle Miller, Andy Robaina and Milan Vaishnav wrote, ‘Results of a new survey conducted ahead of the midterm elections show resentment against Trump and the Republican Party, while support for the Democratic Party has surged.’
Trump gets 30% support from Indian-Americans in 2024
The survey found that the support the Republican Party received in 2024 is not reflected in the Congressional (Parliament) elections. In 2024, 30 percent of Indian-Americans supported Trump, while Republican candidates in the House elections are receiving support from 19 percent. Democrats have 62 percent support in both surveys.
Attitudes have also changed among male voters
Among men 40 and older, support for Democrats rose from 53 percent in January 2026 to 68 percent in October, while support for Republicans fell from 32 percent to 16 percent. Notably, 46 percent of people in the survey declared themselves supporters of the Democratic Party, while 62 percent expressed their willingness to vote for the party’s candidates.
In 2024, 62 percent of Indian-Americans supported Kamala Harris, while 30 percent favored Trump. By January 2026, support for the Democratic Party had fallen to 57 percent, while 25 percent expressed support for Trump.
A recent survey shows that the Republican Party’s 2024 election lead among Indian Americans has not translated into continued support for its congressional candidates, with Democrats leading in both the House and Senate races.
