Democrats scored a sweeping victory in Tuesday’s midterm elections, with Asian-Americans and other voters of colour playing a key role, according to a new voter poll released on Wednesday.
The 2026 Midterm Election Voter Poll surveyed 10,141 voters, including 2,130 Asian-American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) voters, between October 20 and November 3. It offers insights into voting trends across racial groups.
Taeku Lee, a Harvard professor of government and a researcher for the poll, said Asian-American voters not only turned out in 2026 but also swung decisively towards Democrats.
