Professional politicians ("pols" from here on) used to think that the above table didn’t show sufficient correlations between 80-20’s 3 kinds of endorse-ments and the results in the rightmost column.
Pols maintained that the huge increasing in advantage for the Dem. pres. candidate up till Obama’s 2nd election is simply the trend of all immigrant communities. When refugee immigrants first came to the U.S., they always favored the Republican Presidential candidates, because the GOP candidates are more anti-communism. Examples are the cuban, the Korean and the Vietnamese voters. However, gradually the immigrants realized that Dem. Party provided more economic benefits to the immigrant community so they began to favor Dems. The pols maintain that the slight decrease for Kerry was simply fortuitous. When the big decrease for H. Clinton came out in 2016. The pols explained that immigrants were always more supportive of an incumbent president. Hence, H. Clinton’s is expected to enjoy a lesser margin of advantage than Obama’s 2nd election.
In 2020, however, Biden's margin of advantage from AsAm votes has shrunk to 20 points less than Obama's 2nd term. If there is another shrink of that size, AsAms may be reverting to favoring a Republican presidential candidate again. We hope that the Democratic pols will wake up and start urging Democratic presidential candidate to pay much more attention to the CLOUT of 80-20, which desires nothing more than equal opportunity for AsAms.
