� When compared to the 2012 AAPI Post-Election Study, Clinton did about as well as Obama did among Asian American voters and won every segment of the Asian American vote

� For the first time, we surveyed Bangladeshi and Pakistani American voters, and they show among the strongest levels of Democratic party identification and strongest support for Clinton over Trump

� Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders were less likely than Whites or Blacks to be contacted by political parties

� The most serious problems facing Asian Americans include the affordability of college, health care, and elder care

� Asian Americans are progressive on various aspects of economic policy, but are more split when it comes to policies related to undocumented immigrants

� In terms of relations with other groups, Asian Americans are more likely to have contact with Whites than with Blacks or Latinos; Chinese Americans report the least contact with other racial groups

� The question of Asian American identity is contested, with South Asian groups (Indians and Pakistanis) finding it more challenging for American society to view them as Asian American

� Experiences with discrimination and micro-aggression vary significantly across groups, and there has been an increase in job-related discrimination experiences for some groups since 2008

National Exit Poll

AALDEF Exit Poll

NAAS 2016 Post-Election

Clinton Other TrumpThe 2016 Post-Election National Asian American Survey is also distinctive from other surveys in the following ways:

1) Unlike the National Exit Polls, which were conducted only in English and Spanish, the 2016 NAAS was conducted in the same languages, plus 11 Asian languages (Bangla, Cambodian, Cantonese, Hindi, Hmong, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin, Tagalog, Vietnamese, and Urdu). The 2016 NAAS found higher support for Clinton among English-language respondents (74%) than among Asian-language respondents (61%).

2) Unlike the National Exit Poll, which is designed to be representative of the overall electorate, but not necessarily of smaller minority populations, the 2016 NAAS is designed to be nationally representative, with Asian respondents from 48 states and the District of Columbia. The 2016 NAAS found higher support for Clinton among English-language respondents (74%) than what the National Exit Poll found with respect to their English-language respondents (65%).

3) Unlike the AALDEF exit poll of Asian Americans, which was conducted in high-density precincts with significant Asian American populations, the 2016 NAAS includes respondents from suburban areas as well as central cities. While the 2016 AALDEF exit poll found that 79% of their respondents voted for Clinton. By contrast, the 2016 NAAS finds that 69% of Asian Americans voted for Clinton.
