Can President Obama win re-election if almost two-thirds of whites are opposed to him?

With just about a year to ago until Election Day, the U.S. is a racially divided nation when it comes to President Barack Obama.

Consider this: A new CNN/Opinion Research Poll shows 61% of whites disapprove of the way Obama is handling his job vs. 36% who don’t – that’s almost two-to-one. For non-whites, it's almost the mirror image. Only 32% disapprove while 67% approve.

For a president who was supposed to symbolize a post-racial America, this is not good news. When Obama defeated John McCain in 2008, he did it with significant support from white Americans.

Exit polls showed Obama won 43% of white voters. That was the largest share of white support in a two-man race since 1976. Among young white voters, Obama did even better, getting 54% of their support. If Obama wants a second term, he needs to win back support from more white Americans in the coming months.

Meanwhile our new poll shows other results that could spell trouble for Obama. Overall, he gets a 46% approval rating, with 52% saying they disapprove.

When you compare that rating with recent incumbents running for re-election, the president ranks only above Jimmy Carter and Gerald Ford. They both lost their re-election bids. Most incumbents who win re-election had an approval rating above 50% a year before the election.

Finally, the poll shows 54% of the crucial independent voters disapprove of the job Obama is doing...

Sure he can win against those odds; Obama’s people will have illegals voting for him various times to make up for the votes of those who have soured on him.

“Swirlin’ “

Hmmm... that reminds me of something.

Cain: “I’ve got all this stuff twirling around in my head.”

All of that aside, Boy, anyone that thinks that beating that filthy bastard in the White House is going to be easy, is a fool or a complete drooling idiot.

Will 2/3 of whites oppose Obama on Election Day?
Will they vote for the Republican?
Will they stay home?
Do they live in the right states?

America is getting over a bad case of Jungle Fever and it is going to elect a good looking white guy in 2012. This is not the year of the woman or the ethnic minority. Its going to be a landslide for the GOP candidate.

Anyone can win if no one votes for the opposition.

Anyone can win if the race is rigged, and they are in most states. Oregon has mail in ballot only, no chance of fraud there, right?

Day 48 Of The FReepathon
Do you Know Why?

There are loyal posters that donate every FReepathon. Some donate several times during every 'thon. But others never donate. Why?

1 My enemies haven't been zotted.
2 The owner doesn't support my candidate.
3 FR won't "upgrade" to "Like" buttons and blinky crap.
4 Someone else will donate.
5 My friend was zotted.
6 I lost my job and have no income.

Only one of those is a legitimate reason.

“Do you think they can recreate that?”

...absolutely not. The race card is cooked and “Hope and Change” never materialized. 2012 will be a mirror image of 1980.

I have no problem saying what I think of him.

WORST PRESIDENT! EVER!

[Sea Parrot]

Some miss the point of irony, guess outright sarcasm is required for them.

[rcrngroup]

I would say that we are sick & tired of 0dumb0 & Holder, raping & pillaging our country. Both of them should be tried for treason, convicted and then spend the rest of their miserable pathetic lives in prison! And not the leniant kind either.... something more along the lines of a Turkish prison!!!

Any individuals from any race are dumber than dirt if they vote for the commie pig 0dumb0 or the socialst DemoRAT party in the next election.

Can President Obama win re-election if almost two-thirds of whites are opposed to him?

.

YES!!

.

Because the dead outnumber the living 5 to 1.

“...Any individuals from any race are dumber than dirt if they vote for the commie pig 0dumb0 or the socialst DemoRAT party in the next election. ...”

But that’s the heart of the trouble to begin with, isn’t it?

The dumber than dirt DID vote, in droves, for this guy. And they’ll do it again.

Hopefully, they’ll be less of them this time...especially after they see how skinny their wallets and pocketbooks are now.

Jefferson said:

To emancipate all slaves born after passing the act. The bill reported by the revisors does not itself contain this proposition; but an amendment containing it was prepared, to be offered to the legislature whenever the bill should be taken up, and further directing, that they should continue with their parents to a certain age, then be brought up, at the public expence, to tillage, arts or sciences, according to their geniusses, till the females should be eighteen, and the males twenty-one years of age, when they should be colonized to such place as the circumstances of the time should render most proper, sending them out with arms, implements of houshold and of the handicraft arts, feeds, pairs of the useful domestic animals, &c. to declare them a free and independant people, and extend to them our alliance and protection, till they shall have acquired strength; and to send vessels at the same time to other parts of the world for an equal number of white inhabitants; to induce whom to migrate hither, proper encouragements were to be proposed. It will probably be asked, Why not retain and incorporate the blacks into the state, and thus save the expence of supplying, by importation of white settlers, the vacancies they will leave? Deep rooted prejudices entertained by the whites; ten thousand recollections, by the blacks, of the injuries they have sustained; new provocations; the real distinctions which nature has made; and many other circumstances, will divide us into parties, and produce convulsions which will probably never end but in the extermination of the one or the other race.

[Osage Orange]

Ditto that.

I loathe Obama some more than Clinton....but it has nothing to do with his color.

Heck....I loathe most of both Houses of Congress...equally. White, Black, Red, Brown....Pink.

[Chode]

if you voted for 0bama last time to prove you aren't a racist, vote for anybody else next time to prove you aren't a moron...

[patriot08]

He’s going to be hard to beat. You can take that to the bank. Among other things, has the media in his back pocket, he has unlimited funds and he and the rats fight dirty.

[Pining_4_TX]

If the opposition is Mitt, it doesn’t matter. Mitt is Obama minus the tan.

[BunnySlippers]

Good one!
