Indian American Support for Trump Declines Over India Policies

Share


It is well known that United States President Donald Trump is one of the most outspoken and volatile figures in global politics. During his 2024 election campaign, he received considerable support from the Indian American community.

Now, after completing a year in office, a recent survey provides insight into how Indian Americans view his administration, particularly regarding India-related policies. The findings reveal growing dissatisfaction among this community, with approximately 55 percent of Indian American adults disapproving of the way Trump is handling relations with India. This represents a noticeable decline from his earlier term, when around 35 percent had expressed support for his India policies. Only about 20 percent of respondents currently approve of his approach, while nearly 25 percent remain undecided.

Respondents cited concerns over trade disagreements, economic policies, and the overall direction of diplomatic ties between the two nations. Many feel that strategic cooperation between the United States and India has lacked stability and consistency under the current administration. The survey also highlighted a political divide within the Indian American community: those identifying with the Democratic Party expressed higher levels of dissatisfaction, whereas Republican-leaning Indian Americans showed comparatively greater support.

Overall, the data suggests that Indian American opinion is shifting, with an increasing number questioning the current approach toward India and advocating for stronger, more balanced diplomatic engagement between the two countries.
