According to a new survey of expected voting behaviour released on Wednesday, Indian-Americans overwhelmingly support Democratic candidate Joe Biden in the upcoming US elections, with no evidence of the community drifting towards the Republicans because of close ties between US President Donald Trump and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi or a belief that the Democrats are “anti-India”.
The survey was conducted over twenty days in the month of September, recording the responses of 936 Indian-American citizens in the US. It carries an error margin of 3.2%.
“The data show that Indian-Americans continue to be strongly attached to the Democratic Party, with little indication of a shift toward the Republican Party,” says the report on the 2020 Indian American Attitudes Survey, conducted by researchers from the University of Pennsylvania, the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and Johns Hopkins University in partnership with the research and analytics firm YouGov.
“In addition, Indian-Americans view US-India relations as a low priority issue in this electoral cycle, emphasizing instead nationally salient issues such as healthcare and the economy,” the survey adds.

The Indian American Attitudes Survey dismisses claims of previous studies that have suggested that there will be a significant rise in the number of Indian Americans voting in favour of Trump.
The Indian-American voting bloc has traditionally supported the Democratic Party in the past and is projected to do the same even in the 2020 elections.
The report by AAPI Data had a sample size of just 260 people who identified as Indian, and was part of a broader effort to understanding the concerns of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders.
“The big takeaway from these numbers is that there is scant evidence in the survey for the widespread defection of Democratic voters toward Trump—contrary to popular narratives that have surfaced in the media,” the IAAS report for 2020 said.
Mr. Biden’s Vice-Presidential candidate choice of Ms. Harris, who has Jamaican and Indian roots, has had a significant “turnout effect” — with 45% of respondents saying the choice made it more likely they would vote in November while 10% said the choice made it less likely they would vote and 40% said it had no impact on their motivation to vote.
Ms. Harris’s nomination made them more enthusiastic about Mr. Biden’s candidacy while 15% said it made them less enthusiastic about him.
