President Barack Obama is rapidly losing support among African-American voters in North Carolina, a new poll out today from the Democratic-leaning Public Policy Polling shows.

The poll finds that Mitt Romney would get 20 percent of the African-American vote if the election were held today, compared with 76 percent for Obama. Overall, Romney has a 48 percent to 46 percent lead on Obama in the crucial swing state.

Obama received 95 percent of the support from African-Americans in North Carolina in the 2008 election, compared with just 5 percent for Republican nominee John McCain.

Yeah, a 20% drop sounds about right for more socially conservative blacks jumping ship. Some of it could be frustration over the huge black unemployment numbers finally boiling over, but the timing seems to point more towards his gay marriage stance being the motivator.

Oddly enough, the unemployment index on the Southside of Chicago continues to worsen with nary a critical word from those residents about Obamugabe.

No offense, but how would you know, unless you hang out there and talk to the folks on the street?

Trust me, there's trouble in River City.

Maybe they are beginning to see him as the neighborhood pimp.

“76 percent for Obama”?

Please. The Kenyan could eat a live negro fetus on the set of “The Daily Show”, and the blacks will still lock-step vote for him.

They vote for the color of his skin, not the content of his character.

Rumors according to who? I’m sorry but this notion that Obama is not going to run is ridiculous. The guy has been to 50 something fundraisers, and has an ego the size of the moon.

Of course he’s going to run.

What's that - a boat?

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

Ha! Funny.

[Windflier]

Ha! Funny.

Embarrassing too. Just checked your page and see that you're from Illinois. Pardon the earlier comment. You've probably got your ear to the ground there.

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

No problem, FRiend. Happy Father’s Day (if and where appropriate).

[Windflier]

Happy Father’s Day (if and where appropriate).

It's appropriate, and it's most definitely allowed in Texas! Happy Father's Day to you too.

The Dems have always been a coalition of interest groups, each wanting something from the government. Unions want government backing so they can commit violence with impunity. Blacks want Affirmative Action, "social services", and government jobs. Academics want government grants so they can be paid for producing crap research.

Obama has proved to be very ineffective in delivering goodies for his constituent groups. They don't like being stiffed.

True, but they probally won't turn out in the same numbers.
I really don't care if they vote for Romney. If they stay home, that's just as good.
