A report released Friday found that every segment of Asian Americans voted for Barack Obama in November, including the historically Republican Vietnamese and Filipino communities.

 But the report found that almost half of Asian American and Pacific Islander registered voters do not identify with the Democratic or Republican parties, meaning that they may be open to switching their votes to other parties in the future. Democrat Obama received 68 percent of the Asian American and Pacific Islander vote, compared with 30 percent for Republican Mitt Romney.

 Obama did best among Asian Indians, who gave the president 84 percent of their votes. More than 60 percent of Vietnamese and Filipino voters supported Obama.
