African Americans appear to be cooling their support for President Obama, with “strongly favorable” views of the president dropping dramatically from 83 percent five months ago to 58 percent today, a new Washington Post-ABC News poll shows.

So he will get 90% of the black vote instead of 95%.

His real losses will be the Latinos. If he gets forty percent of his Latino vote from the last election...he’ll be lucky. The jobs environment has fairly harsh with the Latinos, and they will remember what he did or didn’t do.

He is losing blacks that are highly educated, Christian and well to do. I know many who are starting to mock him and call for his removal.

A 25% drop in ‘strongly favorable’ is substantial. Some Obama commemorative plates being moved from the mantle to the closet?

I feel the distant drum-beat of “Reparations” vibrating in my ears

They won't vote Republican, they just won't vote.

He is losing anyone who earns a living and/or pays taxes; how that breaks down demographically can be taken for what it’s worth.

The last 3 years were the “reparations”. If they want more “reparations”, they should ask the Chinese for them.

it's true .... the only black votes cast for Obama this time around will be those incapable of reason or purely on the basis of race

How’s he doing with bi-racial voters? 50-50?

A good 80 percent of those that disapprove of his performance will probably sit out and not vote.

So at best, he’s only going to get 78 percent of the black vote as things stand right now.

From Rep Emanuel Cleaver (D-MO) and member of the Congressional Black Caucus:

If Obama wasn't president, we would be marching on the White House

This question would never have been axed last year.

The msm has been given the word to get rid of obama, and is now complicit in this draft hitlery exercise.

Look at the only mook that is waving and blocking the face of a fellow traveler.
