Summary
Asian American voters in Nevada supported President Trump during his 2016 election but now strongly disapprove of his immigration, economic, and deportation policies. Many feel he has ignored their stories, dismissed efforts to protect them through diversity programs, and implemented measures like tariffs and deportations that frustrate them. Economic challenges, including rising gas prices and housing costs, have also deepened their concerns, with some viewing his administration as unfair to citizenship reform and fearful of his deportation policies affecting them personally. Despite loyalty to Trump for historical reasons, nearly half now disapprove of his job performance.
