미 대선서 아시아계 표심 경합주 변수로 떠올라
Turning to the race for the White House.
There's still plenty of time for movements in the polls.
In some swing states, one crucial voting bloc could be Asian-Americans.
Shin Se-min highlight their rising influence.
Determining who becomes the next President of the United States isn't as simple as liberal versus conservative.
Amid the underlying realities of ethnicity in America, the Democrats are getting a competitive edge from a particularly fast-growing group -- Asian-Americans.
Although Asian-Americans have relatively little influence on the election numerically, they are the fastest growing ethnic group in the U.S,… accounting for more than 9-million eligible voters in this election cycle,… up 16 percent from four years ago.
Asian-Americans also earn the most money of any major group and have the highest level of education,… factors traditionally correlated with high voter turnout.
Though they represent only about 4-percent of eligible voters,... their influence in some of the key battleground states is significantly greater than that.
In California, Asian-Americans make up nearly 15-percent of the electorate; and that's 9-percent in Nevada, 7 in New Jersey, and six-point-three percent in New York.
But the growing influence of Asian voters doesn't necessarily help the Republican Party.
A survey earlier this year by the Asian and Pacific Islander American Vote project found that 61-percent of the Asian-American registered voters held an unfavorable view of Republican Donald Trump,… while a similar proportion held a favorable view of his rival, Democrat Hillary Clinton.
Some observers say the Republican Party should be wary of alienating the group as the influence of Asian-Americans is expected to rise in the long-term.
A Pew Research Center study shows that in less than half a century, Asians will outnumber Hispanics among all new immigrants.
