Donald Trump made significant gains among Indian-American voters in 2024. But new 2026 polling suggests that support has sharply reversed, with most Indian-American voters now leaning toward Democrats. Economic pressures, immigration policies, concerns over racism, and strained U.S.-India relations are driving the shift. With millions of Indian Americans and exceptionally high voter turnout intentions, their preferences could prove decisive in closely contested House and Senate races — and potentially shape Trump’s political power for the rest of his term. Cary Johnston brings you the details on Firstpost America.
