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.

I was 12 at the time, and had the white polyester vest, the flared polyester pants, etc.

Wow. Adolescence is hard enough. Throw in the insanity of the crowd’s fashion sense and its nearly impossible.

"Conclusion? White people are racist..."

Precisely, it's so painfully obvious and considering the source actually makes sense

IF Conservatives are ignoring the NY & LASlimes, various compost heaps such as DC's, the Urinal Constipation et al ad nauseum? Why the Politico?

Time to flush the toilet & The Politico {spit} along with it. Good grief the lice working that outhouse are easily among the worst of 'em all.
