POLITICS-US: Asian Americans Tilt Heavily Toward Obama
By Jim Lobe

WASHINGTON, Oct 6 (IPS) - By a margin of nearly two to one, Asian-American voters favour Democratic Sen. Barack Obama over his Republican rival, Sen. John McCain, in the Nov. 4 elections, according to a major new poll released here Monday.

Overall, 41 percent of "likely voters" among the 4,400 Asian Americans polled nationwide by the National Asian American Survey (NAAS) said they intended to vote for Obama, while 24 percent said they supported McCain.

In a number of critical "swing states" -- those states whose electoral votes are considered up for grabs by the two campaigns -- the margin for Obama was slightly larger, 43 percent to 22 percent, according to the NAAS, a joint project of four major state universities in California and New Jersey and the most comprehensive pre-election survey of Asian-American opinion.
