Bangalore: An overwhelming majority of Indian-Americans support  Barack Obama against Mitt Romney in November presidential elections, according to 2012 National Asian American Survey, reports PTI.

"Indian-Americans are by far the strongest supporters of Barack Obama, giving him an edge of 68 per cent to five per cent, with 25 per cent undecided and the rest voting for another candidate. Thus, while Governors Bobby Jindal and Nikki Haley are among the strongest critics of Barack Obama, they seem to be in a relatively small minority of Indian Americans who support Mitt Romney," said the survey.

The survey done by NAAS is based on national poll conducted between the time period July 31 - September 19, via telephonic calls. 3,034 Asian Americans were part of the poll, which included 386 Indian Americans.

The survey reveals that among Indian-Americans, 88 percent favour Obama and 30 percent favour Romney.  43 per cent of Asian Americans support Obama while Romney has a support of just 24 per cent.
