Asian-Americans have been called the stealth swing vote of the 2012 election, yet a recent poll shows that this demographic is still largely ignored when compared with other U.S. ethnic groups.
The survey, conducted by the Democratic-leaning Lake Research Partners, shows that Asian-Americans and Pacific Islanders are more politically divided in Florida than in other states, with 46 percent listing themselves as Democrats, 33 percent Republicans, and 20 percent independents.
In the Sunshine State, Asians support President Obama by a 57-29 percent margin over Mitt Romney, but that's a smaller lead for the incumbent than in a national survey, where Obama leads the former Massachusetts Governor 59-13.
According to 2008 exit polling, Obama won Asian-Americans by garnering 62 percent against John McCain's 35 percent.
