Since the start of his presidency, U.S. President Barack Obama's approval rating has declined more among non-Hispanic whites than among nonwhites, and now, fewer than 4 in 10 whites approve of the job Obama is doing as president.
Obama last week fell below 50% approval in Gallup Daily tracking for the first time in his presidency, both in daily three-day rolling averages and in Gallup Daily tracking results aggregated weekly.
(snip)
Blacks' support for Obama has averaged 93% during his time in office, and has been at or above 90% nearly every week during his presidency. Thus, part of the reason Obama's support among nonwhites has not dropped as much as his support among other groups is because of his consistent support from blacks. (With Hispanics' approval rating down five points, greater declines among Asians, Native Americans, and those of mixed races account for his total seven-point drop among nonwhites.)
The accompanying table shows how Obama's approval rating has changed by subgroup from his first full week in office to the most recent week. The only subgroup showing a greater change than whites is Republicans, down 24 points during this time. Independents' approval of Obama has declined nearly as much (down 18 points), whereas support among Democrats is down only 6 points.
Obama's strongest support comes from blacks, Democrats, and liberals -- all of whom give him approval ratings above 80%. He maintains solid support of more than 60% from nonwhites, Hispanics, and young adults.

I guess they don’t need us white boys no more.
Wonder what they have planned?
See 120.
The whole reason this country has gone to the dogs is because whie men have decided “diversity” means without them but that’s OK.
To liberals “A more perfect union” is a collection of idiots they can dominate and overpower. Seems they got that collection right.
I feel sorry for you in some way in that 99% of every black person I have known enslaves themselves to their skin color and follows anything and everything Democrat or liberal, but thinking, intelligent, discerning blacks like yourself are Uncle Tom’d. That has got to be a lonely feeling some days.
The Kenyan was on the Top, the big dog. It was like a shrine to the Islamic Commander. And this guy was a Christian.
I disagree. You cannot be a Christian and vote democrat. How can you claim to follow Christ yet support everything (abortion, homosexuality ect) that Christ is against?
This guy was not a Christian.
Democrats give them the scales, fish heads and fins (never the good parts of the fish)....Republicans expect them to learn how to fish and are willing to teach them, but once they learn they have the entire fish.
I just saw an old liberal-slanted slate article on Obama and the white vote.
But it’s from last year, optimistic cause he did better with whites than lilly white upperclass rats Gore and Kerry.
The rats always point to declining white population spelling certain future dominance for them. If he indeed gets only about 1/3 of the non Hispanic white vote he is gonna to lose.
Come election day , it will be back up among those whites that voted for obama. He fooled them one time, he will fool them again.
On the contrary, my friend. My brothers and sisters are the right-conservative patriots of America, and I'm surrounded by 'em! I'm not one bit lonely.
Truth is, I was raised with the concept that I was a Bell first, an American second, and a black person third. I've maintained that perspective throughout my life - even back when I was an uninformed Democrat.
Appreciate the sentiment, though.
I am happy for you. Most blacks I know are miserable because either they are surrounded by liberals wthin their friends and families or are conflicted because they know what they should be doing but have extreme pressures to not do them.
All I can say is that people who suffer that way don't have what my mom used to call "the courage of their convictions."
A person either has personal integrity, or they don't. Even when I was surrounded by people who thought differently than I did, I never followed the crowd just to get along, nor was I ever afraid to assert my own opinion for fear of being ostracized by my fellows.
I probably got that from my dear old mom. She's always been an unabashed iconoclast in every way, and a real fighter. She's got more brass than most people I ever knew, and has never once backed down when she's been challenged (on anything - by anyone).
She and I are polar opposites when it comes to politics, but we're two peas in a pod when it comes to standing firm in our convictions. That does tend to make conversing on most topics kinda rough for us ;-)
Do you think it is white guilt that keeps him at 39 percent with whites, or is it just a desire for socialism? Reagan also fed into white guilt with his King Day, which some of his advisors apparently told him would bring blacks into the GOP! People will believe anything at times.
Yes, for a Democrat and democrat peoples, 49 percent is a landslide.
Lenin would be elated beyond even his own optimism. The American people sadly have no clue, as he understood. He said the masses could never learn music, just recite a few short lines of a song.
The word “Christian”, which I am not sure is in the Bible, has become a catch-all for those with different motives.
Liberalism's long campaign (paid for by taxpayer dollars) to keep Blacks ignorant, government dependent, and culturally and morally destroyed (and voting for Liberals, the very ones whose policies are destroying them) has been a roaring success!
Blacks (as a whole) have gone from becoming a rising blessing to America in the mid 20th Century to a raging curse on themselves and the entire country by the 21st.
Liberals are proud of the chains of slavery they have forged. They are now looking to permanently forge them on the rest of us.
