I don't think it is. Brookings is extremely reputable.
Then there's this:
Indigenous voters — motivated in part by economic issues, land rights, tribal sovereignty and the preservation of language and culture — tended to support progressive priorities and liberal candidates in the November election, according to the National Electorate Voter Poll, which researchers at BSP Research, First Nations Development Institute and others shared last week.
Those findings stand in stark contrast to a National Exit Poll by Edison Research
that claimed that 68% of Native voters voted for President-elect Donald Trump. That exit poll, which was widely shared online and across media networks after the election, falsely suggested that a large shift in Native voting patterns had occurred. “Native voices are rarely heard, and when people don’t hear from us, they make shit up,” said Michael Roberts (Tlingit), CEO of the Colorado-based
First Nations Development Institute, pointing to the Edison Research poll.
Instead, the
National Electorate Voter Poll by BSP Research
found that 57% of the Native voters surveyed voted for Vice President Kamala Harris, while 39% voted for Trump. The majority also supported women’s right to abortion (85%), protecting families from climate change (89%), and expanding clean energy investments (88%), none of which are part of Trump’s agenda. “This is very useful information for the incoming Trump administration that we know is potentially going to move in a different direction on a number of these issues,” said Gabe Sanchez, director of research at BSP Research.
Accurate data is hard to come by, but one poll suggests many supported progressive priorities and liberal candidates
