The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research and AAPI Data are launching a new survey series, the AAPI Data/AP-NORC survey starting in November 2023, and extending through 2024, that elevates the perspective of Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) populations on some of society’s most pressing issues. The effort will address historic underrepresentation of AAPI communities in public opinion research.
“Comprehensive data that reflect the experiences and perspectives of all demographic groups are the foundation of high-quality public opinion polling and analyses,” said Jennifer Benz, deputy director of The AP-NORC Center. “With this partnership, we are amplifying the voices of AAPI populations to address the historic underrepresentation of AAPI communities in public opinion and news stories.”
The information about AANHPI communities could spur more stories about AANHPIs in the media hopefully dispelling some of the misinformation and stereotypes that fed the ignorance about one of the fastest growing in the United States.
By 2060, Asian Americans are projected to be the United States’ largest immigrant group, with their numbers estimated to surpass 46 million, or more than 10 percent of the total U.S. population. Asian Americans are already the fastest-growing racial/ethnic demographic in the country, with their size nearly doubling between 2000 and 2019.
The upcoming series merges the partners’ research and journalistic expertise, cultural knowledge, and established community relationships to measure the views of AAPI populations. It will feature regular surveys on key issues, such as policy priorities, financial well-being, political views, and civic engagement.
The first report, scheduled for release in November, will focus on the experiences of AANHPI communities with hate crimes and discrimination.

The Amplify AAPI panel, from which the surveys will draw, is the first large survey panel of Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islanders. Surveys will be conducted online and over the phone in English and in Mandarin, Cantonese, Vietnamese, and Korean to cover the largest Asian American populations with limited English proficiency.
Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders are two of the fastest growing racial groups in the United States and have historically been underrepresented in research due in part to inadequate data infrastructure, language barriers, and a lack of outreach to AAPI communities.

“The AAPI community is incredibly diverse. Fully appreciating and understanding that diversity is essential for effective polling as well as policy making,” said Karthick Ramakrishnan, founder and director of AAPI Data. “This collaboration aims to capture the breadth and depth of AAPI communities to better inform decision makers and the general public.”
