(Gallup) Obama's Approval Slide Finds Whites Down to 39%
Gallup ^ | 11/24/2009 | Jeffrey M Jones

Posted on 11/24/2009 1:33:06 PM PST by markomalley

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 firmly believe that if The One starting loading up blacks in ships sending them back to Africa he would still get 90% of their vote.

as president he will always maintain a 90% or above approval rating from Blacks.

The emotional vs. rational factor is very evident---almost to the level of utter childish madness.

I was at a black mans house a few wees ago. He had big Pics of Obama, MLK, Malcom X, and Nelson Mandela. He also had a small Pic Of Al Sharpton.

The Kenyan was on the Top, the big dog. It was like a shrine to the Islamic Commander. And this guy was a Christian.

This is why Obamas head has become like a balloon. He could rape a 2 year old boy and get 99 percent approval rates in the black community.

From this chart it appears 90% of Blacks are either Communist or Racists.

If my math is correct, his number among Non-White who are not Black or Hispanic is getting worse. With Black, his number actually increased by 1pt. With Hispanic, his number decreased by 5pt. For total Non-White, however, we see a decrease of 7pt! Assuming not much changes in the population’s ethnic composition in the past 10 months or so...

Whites that voted for Barack because it felt good are now getting a chance to pay for that insanity.

Makes sense. Everything this administration is doing is designed to seize money and assets from those who work hard for their money and save a little so as not to become dependent, and give the money and assets to those who vote democrat.

This article surely concludes that non-whites are racists because they refuse to reevaluate their opinion of a black president regardless of how well he governs.

If this headline was true, do you think that would make a difference?

Nah...

39%.

Wow.

That's one great big steaming pile of stupid honky.


Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.
