Hillary Clinton laughs onstage at a rally in North Carolina.
The poll, released Wednesday, shows 55% of registered Asian-American voters who were surveyed said they intend to vote for Clinton, the Democratic nominee, in November's presidential election.
Fourteen percent of those surveyed said they would choose Trump, her Republican rival.
According to the survey, Clinton's support from Asian American registered voters was strongest among people aged 18 to 34.
"All of the anti-immigrant rhetoric and harsh tone and language is a turnoff to voters," Karthick Ramakrishnan, associate dean of the University of California, Riverside School of Public Policy, and the survey's director, told the Los Angeles Times.
The survey also revealed that Asian Americans are more than twice as likely to identify as Democrats than as Republicans - 41 percent to 16 percent - while the figure was 38 percent and 20 percent in 2012; 36 percent and 19 percent in 2008.
Ramakrishnan said Trump is "likely a significant reason" for more Asian Americans shifting to the Democratic party, and added that "Trump's unfavorables are like nothing we've seen before," according to NBC News.
President Barack Obama, however, beats both candidates among Asian Americans, based on numbers from the 2012 election. He won the support of 73 percent of the voting bloc that year.
