Asian Vote by State

[Kevin]

Where I live here in the United States most of the Indians are quite wealthy and also very well educated and vey hard working. Also they tend to be very well integrated into American soicety. So I'm quite shocked at someone saying the vast majority of them vote Democratic. I mean I'm sure the majority of them vote Democratic but I'm shocked they are not trending Republican.

Chinese-Americans = Lean Democrat, historically lean Republican.
Filipino-Americans = Strong Lean Democrat
Japanese-Americans = Strong Lean Democrat
Korean-Americans = Strong Lean Democrat
Indian-Americans = Split now becoming more Democratic.
Pakistani-Americans = Strong Republican becoming Strong Democratic
Vietnamese-Americans = Strong Republican becoming Strong Lean Republican
Hmong-Americans = Strong Democrat

Also with Korean Americans I'm also a little surprised that they lean towards the Democrats since many Koreans in America are small businessmen or are in business fields of some form or another. Also I've noticed that Koreans tend to have a strong family oriented and religious tradition so I'm kind puzzled?

The Koreans of Fresno County are split, but from anecdotal evidence and what my Korean friends in Los Angeles have said that they are mostly Democrats with a few voting Republican for foreign policy concerns.

Naturally I would expect Buddhists and the irreligious to vote more Democratic, with the Christians leaning towards the GOP.

I used to live in Fairfax which has a large Korean population and overall I would say they were split and it depending on the age or religious observence of the Korean-American you would met.

I know many Indians that are registered as Republicans here in Fresno, but they end up voting Democrat as of 2004.

Why? Could it have been the backlash that hit Indian-Americans after 9/11 dispite the fact that most of them aren't Muslim.
