It’s not just that Trump didn’t remember the Hindus… There’s a big purpose in talking about Modi-India before the elections, as two polls show

Presidential election in America: Just five days before the US presidential election, Donald Trump suddenly started singing Hindu-Hindu songs. Trump not only congratulated the Hindus present in America on Diwali, but also took the opportunity to scold India’s neighboring country Bangladesh. Joe Biden’s pictures with Bangladesh’s incumbent chief Mohammad Yunus went viral in September. Now Trump has taken on Kamala Harris and Biden and raised the atrocities against Hindus in Bangladesh. In such a situation, the question naturally arises: Why did Trump remember the Hindu voters present in America just before the last sudden vote on November 5th? Get detailed information about this using 2 surveys.

Trump is gaining ground among Hindus
Kamala Harris is of Indian origin. In such a situation, it is bound to strengthen its influence among the people of Indian origin living in America. Surveys also point in this direction. However, polls also show that Harris’ influence among people of Indian origin appears to be decreasing compared to before. According to the 2024 Indian-American Attitudes Survey (IAAS) report, support for Republican Party candidate Donald Trump has increased. 61 percent of Indian-Americans still support Kamala Harris. At the same time, Donald Trump receives 31 percent support.

Kamala Harris’ graphic drops
When the US presidential election took place in 2020, 22 percent of Indians supported Trump. Trump’s support has increased 9 percent over the past four years. This survey by IAAS also shows that Kamala Harris’ graph among people of Indian origin has fallen by seven percent in the last four years. In the 2020 US presidential election, Kamala Harris was the first choice of 68 percent of people, but that share has now fallen to 61 percent. Indians have traditionally been the voter base of Kamala Harris’s Democratic Party, but it is now in decline.

Trump will exploit it
Let us tell you that at the beginning of his campaign, Trump was more focused on the white population of America. For this reason, during the presidential debate, he also addressed the viral video in which outsiders picked up stray dogs on the streets of America, killed them and ate them. Given the latest poll numbers, Trump is trying to woo Hindu voters amid a close contest with Kamala Harris. About 52 lakh people in America are of Indian origin. Of these, 26,000 people are eligible to vote in these elections.
