First one: Both Dems. Home ownership isn't a deal-breaker, especially if it's mortgage related.
Second one: Proper Republican, could be any factions but I'd be surprised if they were a Dem on demographics alone.
Third one: Black suggests Dem. Less likely to be a Dem than most other blacks but it's a safe bet.
Fourth and fifth one: Both likely Dems.

The first couple are actually both Republicans. The wife is more fiscally right than the husband whose main political focus seems to be being against political correctness. In terms of the fictional characters, individual 2 is a swing voter, individual 3 is actually a Republican, and individuals 4 and 5 are both Dems.

I was about to say hardcore trump supporter but then I realized that the location was Massachusetts one of the only places where non-college whites vote majority democrat. I think the states partisan lean would be enough to push through the other demographic factorsu to make him a reliable D voter but I do think he probably voted for Rommney and is a mostly republican voter for state offices.

Democrat but with a very conservative streak on Law and Order and "victims rights" issues. Takes a grim view of Black Lives Matter and though she won't admit it is somewhat racist, was an ardent Hillary supporter in 2008 who voted for McCain in the general because of Obama's perceived lack of experience, otherwise has voted Democrat in every presidential election and when she was living in California where Republicans are more moderate downballot occasionally voted GOP at the state level. In 2020 she voted for Biden in both the primary and general.

Sexual Orientation: Straight
Location: Austin, TX
Hometown: Miami, Florida
Relationship Status/Family: Engaged/Divorced, one daughter from previous marriage
Education: PhD in Economics from Loyola University

Notes:

1) Grandparents were holocaust survivors and he has family members in Israel that he has been to visit several times.
2) Was a wrestling champion in high school and on his college team, briefly considered a career before deciding against it. Is still an avid wrestling fan.
3) Has published several well known papers on the economics of professional sports and economic impact of the Olympics on major cities.

Based on IRL people (I know many people who fit this description, but only one has so many children):

Gender: Male
Age: 50s
Race: South Asian
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
Hometown: Plano, Texas
Religion: Sunni Muslim - Devout
Relationship Status: Married, ten children (ranging in age from 0 to 20)
Occupation: Software Engineer
Education: Master's Degree in Computer Science
Income: > $100K a year

Notes: Immigrated to the United States thirty years ago, very recently acquired citizenship (within the last five years), professes an interest in Options Trading, was a big fan of Bernie Sanders, believes very strongly in the American dream

No one ever responded to this one, so I'll take a shot.

Generic Asian immigrant conservadem type that would've leaned R in the 80s, but has leaned D since the W era. I can easily see him as a (reluctant) Trump 2020 voter, but his support for Bernie, location, and gap between immigrating and acquiring citizenship make me guess he would've voted for Biden.

Guessing the above character is a Biden Republican.

Moderate Swing Voter, usually apolitical and maybe doesn't vote in midterms.

Probably a Biden voter based on the college degree alone.

I genuinely don't understand this. What?

Immigrants who came here legally as adults were some of Trump's biggest fans within the Asian community. 45's "newfound strength" with Asian voters in 2020 mostly came from previous nonvoters who were mostly older and grew up abroad- and I suspect this applies to every national origin, ethnic, and religious group. I've seen too many posts like this, this, this, and this- and played too much Mafia/Among Us to be surprised to find out some Pakistani or Bangladeshi immigrant voted for Don Giovanni.

I can easily see him as a (reluctant) Trump 2020 voter

I genuinely don't understand this. What?

Immigrants who came here legally as adults were some of Trump's biggest fans within the Asian community. 45's "newfound strength" with Asian voters in 2020 mostly came from previous nonvoters who were mostly older and grew up abroad- and I suspect this applies to every national origin, ethnic, and religious group. I've seen too many posts like this, this, this, and this- and played too much Mafia/Among Us to be surprised to find out some Pakistani or Bangladeshi immigrant voted for Don Giovanni.

Socially center-left, fiscally center-right. She probably still votes Republican for local and statewide offices. She is probably a hardline Never-Trumper. Over the past 4 years, she has likely started voting Democrat for federal offices. She probably is a hardcore Feinstein supporter though.

Gender: Female
Age: 23
Race: White
Sexual Orientation: Straight
Location: Beverly Hills, CA
Religion: Athiest
Relationship Status: Has a boyfriend, though she is cheating on him right now
Profession: Social Media Model
Education: Dropped out of USC. Her parents bribed some university officials to get her in, but never got in trouble for it, and they paid off the federal investigator
Income: $10,250,000 ($250,000 allowance)
Other: Her mother is a less famous, but still successful actress. Her father is on the board of a modeling agency. Most of her income is from Instagram sponsorships, though she has gotten into a certain NSFW modeling site lately.

This is true, but when you're talking about South Asians, the majority of the community's already Immigrants who came here legally (seriously, the median age of an Asian-Indian-American who was born in the U.S. is 13).

I also think there might be a difference between Asians in urban areas and Asians in suburban areas, maybe in suburbs where crime is lower, Asians were less attracted to Trumps rhetoric on law and order.

I also suspect there's a religious difference as well (I read somewhere a while back that Bangladeshis and Pakistanis were the Democrats' strongest groups, with 90% preferring them, and anecdotally, out of dozens of Indian Muslims, Pakistanis, and Bangladeshis I know, every single one supported Biden, even as there are many Hindu Indians who preferred Trump).

I doubt there's detailed data on that for such small populations, though, unfortunately.



Also, you skipped my second person who lived in Weston Tongue

South Asians have generally been more one-sidedly D than any of the major East/Southeast Asian groups, and I don't think that changed in 2020. I could be wrong on this, but I don't think the prevalence of anti-undocumented sentiment among different Asian groups is correlated with how many undocumented immigrants from said ancestry or country there are in the US.

I'm 100% certain Muslim South Asians are more D than Hindu, Jain, and Christian counterparts- but I would be surprised if Muslim South Asians didn't also swing R in terms of percentage margin. I definitely think the GOP had a much higher floor with suburban and upscale Asians to being with, so they had more room to fall in the affluent suburbs (and more room to gain in the urban cores).

AALDEF 2020 disaggregated exit poll for AAPI voters- this includes Bangladeshi, Pakistani, Indo-Caribbean, and Arab [?] crosstabs. Korean, Vietnamese, and Cambodian crosstabs were pretty damn Trumpy here.



Gender: Male
Age: 50s
Race: White Hispanic - Venezuelan
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
Hometown: Weston, Florida
Religion: Roman Catholic - Devout
Relationship Status: Married, three children
Occupation: Accountant
Education: Bachelor's Degree in Accounting
Income: $80K a year

Tossup with the limited information we have. On paper he seems like a Trump 2020 voter, but it's entirely possible he'd see more parallels between Trump's machismo and the Chavez/Maduro administrations, and would therefore vote for Biden.
