WASHINGTON, D.C. – On Friday, December 13, at 4:00 p.m. ET, Asian Americans Advancing Justice – AAJC (Advancing Justice – AAJC) and The Asian American Foundation (TAAF) will join pollsters in hosting a virtual briefing to unpack how and why Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Americans voted in the 2024 election and what this means moving forward based on data from the 2024 American Electorate Voter Poll conducted by the African American Research Collaborative and BSP Research, which surveyed over 1,800 AAPI voters. 

During the briefing, pollsters and experts will share an in-depth analysis of the specific policy concerns shared by AAPI voters and outline the current projects and resources from Advancing Justice – AAJC and TAAF. These findings are informed by critical oversamples of AAPI voters nationally and in key states with significant AAPI populations that paint a more complete and accurate picture of their vote choices and motivations in this election–and what that means for 2025 and beyond.

Speakers will also share in-depth analysis of these and other questions:

  • How did AAPI voters vote (by age, gender, state) for President and Congress?
  • How important were issues like inflation, immigration, and AAPI hate for voters this cycle?

WHO:  

  • Taeku Lee, Ph.D., senior advisor, BSP Research/ Bae Family Professor of Government, Harvard University
  • John C. Yang, president and executive director, Asian Americans Advancing Justice – AAJC
  • Norman Chen, CEO, The Asian American Foundation (TAAF)
  • Henry Fernandez, CEO, African American Research Collaborative

Friday, December 13, 2024, at 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm EST

About the 2024 American Electorate Voter Poll

The 2024 American Electorate Voter Poll is a large-scale poll of Black, Hispanic, Asian American, Native American, and White voters nationally and in key states, conducted by the African American Research Collaborative (AARC) and BSP Research, and sponsored by SEIU, UnidosUS, Planned Parenthood Action Fund, Somos Votantes, First Nations Development Institute, Climate Power, Indivisible, Rural Organizing, Voter Participation Center, America’s Voice, the American Civil Liberties Union, the Hispanic Federation and Voto Latino. 

In the final days of the 2024 election, the AEVP contacted more than 9,400 voters who already cast their ballots or were doing so on election day. The survey offers exclusive information about the electorate, including Congressional, Senate, and Gubernatorial vote choices, issue priorities, and evaluations of both major parties and what issues motivated voter turnout. The poll also includes data from crucial presidential and U.S. Senate battleground states, including Arizona, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Wisconsin, Michigan, North Carolina, and Texas, as well as a national sample. The full array of data will be made available on the 2024 American Electorate Voter Poll website.
