It's an interesting question. The Asian vote has tracked pretty closely with the Latino vote in recent presidential elections. Most assume Latino vote will be hugely pro Clinton, will Asians follow suit? On one hand Trump hasn't called Asians 'rapists' and the wall is something more aimed at immigrants from Mexico and Latin America. On the other hand, talk of a deportation force will impact Asian families as much if not more than Latino families as Asians have been growing faster as a group so are more likely to have recent immigrants (who overstayed visas) in their extended families. And of course a lot of Muslim immigrant are categorized as Asian, and they are certainly not going to go for Trump.
So with all of that, I would guess that Clinton would do better than Romney with Asians, leaving Trump to look to whites (and blacks) for any improvements.
