41% favor Obama, 24 % support McCain, 34% are undecided
A national survey of Asian American voters done jointly by four universities says a sizable section of this group remains undecided, a factor that sets them up to play a 'pivotal' role in the outcome of the election.
The study, released October 6 in Washington, was conducted by researchers from four leading universities: Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley), University of California, Riverside (UC Riverside)and University of Southern California (USC).
The 2008 National Asian American Survey (NAAS) shows that 41 percent of Asian Americans are likely to favor Sen. Barack Obama, while 24 percent support Sen. John McCain.
In battleground states, where either candidate could win on Election Day, Obama leads with 43 percent of Asian Americans supporting him and 22 percent favoring McCain.
The study shows a high proportion of undecided Asian American likely voters at 34 percent, way above the national average of 8 percent.
