Are the breakdowns the percentage of respondents for the approval/disapproval numbers or a break down of ‘approve’ by demographic category?

[keat]

Those are some sweet numbers - his disapproval rating is tracking with his age.

[ken21]

why would a “republican” approve of obama?

my wife says the results are inflated because of the

bradley effect—some people are afraid to admit that

they do not approve of a black president.

[doorgunner69]

Seeing 83% for blacks indicates it is an approval number.

Things are so bleak in this economy that Gallop is putting in pools now to make a buck!

[RitaOK]

The higher approval numbers belong to the blacks, the young and the non-Christian. Can we extrapolate from those three numbers and segments that the approval for Obama comes from young, black Muslims?

Those are some sweet numbers - his disapproval rating is tracking with his age.

His approval rating is tracking with his IQ.

[truthguy]

Still a majority of people between the ages of 18-29 approve of Obama’s performance (52%). Unbelieveable. That's frightening and this group surely deserves its reputation as “the dumbest generation”.

Good thing they don't vote.

Would not Black and Hispanic fall under Nonwhite, like Asians, Indians, etc.?

Yeah, considering how more boomers voted for him, I don’t see how the pot can call the kettle black.

"Yeah, considering how more boomers voted for him, I don’t see how the pot can call the kettle black."

Are you inferring a greater percentage of Boomers voted for him than 18-29 year olds?

[SaraJohnson]

The answer for Obama is what worked for Clinton when he was down to 40%. Time for the Donald! He’s doing to do it, too.

[BenKenobi]

“more boomers voted for him”

No, I meant exactly what I said. When you count the ballots more boomers voted for Obama.

[BenKenobi]

more boomers cast a ballot for obama. Where did I say anything about percentages.

[trekdown]

The top 2 rows are the numbers of percentage of respondents for the approval/disapproval. According to my understanding, below them is a break down of ‘approve’ by demographic category.

[trekdown]

There are significantly more dems that disapprove their Leader’s job than “republican” who approve.
