More than two-thirds of Indian American voters are expected to vote for Joe Biden and the Democratic Party in the US presidential elections in early November, according to a survey.
 
Only 22 per cent of Indian Americans registered to vote are expected to support President Donald Trump compared with 72 per cent for Biden, the survey by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace said Wednesday. The study covered 936 Americans of Indian origin polled by analytics firm YouGov between Sept 1 to Sept 20.

The numbers show that the loyalties of Indian American voters haven’t shifted to the Republican Party
