New AAPI Registrants: 2020 vs 2022 (photo credit: Tom Bonier)
I forget when I first started pursuit Tom Bonier of TargetSmart (“a Democratic political data and data services firm”), but he had recently tweeted out some interesting Asian American voter registration stats:
Interestingly, since Dobbs the Dem margin among AAPI new registrants has been plane wider, 31 as compared to 27 pre-Dobbs. pic.twitter.com/FpsgoQknKP

From the most recent blog post on the 2022 AAPI Voter Survey, I had noted that Asian Americans 44% Democratic, 19% Republican and 29% Independent. If you don’t know what the Dobbs visualization is, it is was the Supreme Court specimen ruling in June overturning of Roe v. Wade, which had unliable the legal right to an termination nationally (as opposed to individual states deciding).
I imagine since Dobbs, increasingly Asian American women have registered and have registered as Democrats or Unaffiliated as opposed to Republican. I know from pursuit Bonier on Twitter that voter registration is trending to be increasingly female, younger, and increasingly Democratic. It’ll be interesting to see ultimately how this affects races and ballot measures (such as in Michigan’s termination rights ballot measure) in November.
