Poll: Obama faces white flight

Just 39 percent of white Americans now approve of President Obama's job performance, a steep drop-off of support since he was inaugurated in January, according to the latest Gallup Poll.

In his first full week in office, starting Jan. 26, just over six in 10 white people gave him their approval. Now that number is down to under four in 10, indicating a net drop of 22 points.

Black voters, meanwhile, have continued to support Obama to the tune of approximately 90 percent. And Democrats and liberals give Obama approval ratings of above 80 percent.

"Though he maintains widespread loyalty among Democrats, the small loss in support he has seen from his fellow partisans seems to be exclusively from white Democrats," Gallup's finding says.

The most recent survey of 3,611 adults has a 2 percent margin of error.

The post-2008 version of “white guilt” is “I voted for Obama, but...”.

Perhaps it would be more telling to determine what demographic is continuing to support this increasingly ineffective president and why.

And, that's because they have the most to gain and we have the most to lose. They are being told that money grows on trees and the whites live in the park. Soon we will be living in the inner cities and they will live in the park.

If they're only supporting him because of race, aren't they racist?

If black voters weren’t so cut and dried racist, and bought out by the Democratic Party, they would abandon Obamao too. The guy is a loser who is hurting us all, regardless of our color.

I realize there are black voters who aren’t racist, and don’t toe the Democratic Party line, thank goodness. Thank you. It can’t be easy these days.
