A new national survey shows a significant decline in President Donald Trump's favorability among Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander adults over the past year. The percentage of those with an unfavorable view of Trump rose from 60% in December to 71% in July, with independents in this group especially likely to have soured on the president. Economic concerns, particularly fears that new tariff policies will drive up consumer costs, are cited as key reasons for this shift. Many in these communities express heightened anxiety about inflation, the possibility of recession, and the impact of government spending cuts, especially in areas like education. Despite a slight shift toward Trump in the last election, only about a third of English-speaking Asian American voters supported him, and the latest poll suggests economic worries are deepening skepticism about his policies.
