President Trump’s favorability has fallen among Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander people in the United States, according to a new poll from AAPI Data and The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.
In the poll, Trump was seen as “very favorable” or “somewhat favorable” by 26 percent of Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander people in the U.S., down from 37 percent in December.
Trump was also seen in a “very” or “somewhat” negative light by 71 percent of Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander people in the U.S., up from 60 percent in December.
As the president passes the six-month mark for his second term, his polling overall does not appear to be faring well, with his disapproval rating sitting at 53 percent in a Decision Desk HQ average of polls.
Trump is also facing rough headwinds at the moment due to controversy surrounding his administration’s handling of information about convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Trump’s governing partner, Vice President Vance, was seen as “very unfavorable” or “somewhat unfavorable” by 61 percent of respondents, while 26 percent said the opposite.
The AAPI Data and AP-NORC poll took place from June 3 and 11, featuring 1,130 people and a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 4.7 percentage points.
