PhotoMore than twice as many Asian-Americans now identify as Democrats than as Republicans, and they hold strongly unfavorable views of Donald J. Trump, a new national survey found, emphasizing the Republican Party’s continued struggle to appeal to minority groups. Seventy-nine percent of Indian-Americans surveyed said they had an unfavorable view of Mr. Trump. The only bright spot were Vietnamese-Americans, who were split more or less evenly: 43 percent unfavorable, 45 percent favorable for Mr. Trump. Many Republicans have started to raise the alarm that Mr. Trump is only alienating Asians further. The survey asked its participants — who were interviewed in 10 languages — whether they supported Mr. Trump’s Muslim ban.
