I think that Clinton will win the Asian vote (obviously).

I could see the GOP candidate in 2016 doing better with Asians than Romney did (this depends on who the candidate is tho).

 The GOP won the Asian vote in 2014 (barely), which could be a sign that Asians are becoming more Republican (although low turnout was probably also huge a factor).

 I think that Clinton will win around 65% of the Asian vote (Obama won around 76% IIRC).

Voted for option 5.

What do you guys think?

D: >70%, slightly lower 70s than Obama (Hawaii won't be as strong for the Democrats, most likely)

Republicans can expect little support from a diverse array of ethnic groups (do Pakistani-Americans and Japanese-Americans really have much in common?) that generally respect intellect when the Republican Party uses anti-intellectual demagoguery to appeal to people who have contempt for formal education.

...We need recall that in 2008, the Democratic nominee did better among highly-educated people than poorly-educated people on the whole; income never had so slight a correlation to partisan voting. Republicans are now losing some desirable constituencies that they used to rely upon.

But in 2012, higher income was directly proportional to Republican percentage.

Slight Democratic lean, ~50% or so.
