Washington. Excitement over the upcoming presidential elections in America has increased. The campaign for the November 5th elections has reached its final phase. Kamala Harris is running from the ruling Democratic side, while Donald Trump is challenging her from the Republican side. Just a few days before the vote, something surprising came to light in a survey. A historic shift is being observed in the attitude of Indian voters. According to the survey, Kamala Harris’ influence among Indian-origin voters appears to be weakening, but Donald Trump’s influence has become stronger. In addition to gender differences, a difference in political leanings was also found between American-born voters of Indian origin and voters of other Indian origins.
The pulse of Indian-origin voters could be felt shortly before they cast their votes in the US presidential election. Shocking facts have come to light in the 2024 Indian-American Attitudes Survey (IAAS). Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris is popular with Indian voters but her influence in one of America’s largest communities is weak, according to the poll. On the other hand, support for the Republican Party candidate Donald Trump has increased. According to IAAS data, 61 percent of Indian voters support Kamala Harris while 31 percent support Donald Trump. Let us tell you that in 2020, Trump had the support of only 22 percent of Indians. Shortly before the presidential election in November, there was a significant increase of 9 percent in Trump’s support base.
