AAPI community is pessimistic about the state of politics, but their outlook is comparatively less dour than the general public’s view.

With about a month until the first presidential primaries and caucuses, a new AAPI Data/AP-NORC survey finds 68% of people within Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (AAPI) communities, including 6 in 10 Democrats, believe the country is heading in the wrong direction. Trust in the political parties among AAPI communities remains on par with the rest of the United States, generally low, but varied across issues, with 3 in 10 trusting Republicans on the economy, while Democrats are trusted more on climate change (50%) and student debt (44%).
