It's just one state. But it’s one of the centers of African-American culture and influence in the nation. Atlanta, with nearly 6 million residents in its metro area, is home to hundreds of top black musicians and other entertainers, civil rights leaders, and business entrepreneurs. Janet Jackson, Usher, Tyler Perry, and Andrew Young are just a handful of the many big names that can be found moving about the Georgia city on a given day. That's why I was startled when our firm, InsiderAdvantage, conducted this past week two separate surveys about various issues for corporate clients in the area. Both polls were conducted on the same night. To keep phone respondents on the line while the poll quizzed them on rather mundane subjects, they were told they'd be given a chance during the questioning to offer an opinion on the job performances of certain political leaders. I was shocked when one survey showed President Barack Obama with a disapproval rating of 35 percent among African Americans in Georgia, while the second one had it at 38 percent. Those two results are statistically identical, as both polls had margins of error of plus or minus 4 percent.

I hear 35% of black folks do not work for the government and are religious. Maybe they are realizing Obama is not so good after all.
The black unemployment rate currently stands at 15.1% according to the BLS statistics for August. The numbers are understated. These are Depression numbers. Yet nary a word is heard from the black caucus or our first black President.
Celebrate- the sheeple who have been led astray by the democrap party are waking up
If true, it is because he is not more Liberal.
Somewhat surprising, but the 97% vote margin for this segment of the Baraqqi coalition won’t go away next time.
If there’s an election in 2012, it still won’t be easy to defeat Baraq.
There are too many groups where he garners nearly unanimous votes.
Unions
Minorities
Illegals
Dead voters
That’s a big base to build on.
I find this hard to believe. I think 0bama will easily get 97% or more of the black vote in 2012.
Blacks are waking up. They see that Obama was all talk and no do. He will hurt the black community worse than the white. He doesn’t speak to them and their needs. They need jobs not Cap and Trade. They need opportunities not higher taxes (yes, they will be taxed). They are starting to see the truth. This is good for the nation. I believe that the day will come when the Black Baptist church leaders and the Ku Klux Klan will march together against the One. Obama will deliver on one promise—he will unify people against him.
I would love to see a few moreblack Republicancandidates in 2010. This is a pivotal year.
Actually, I've been waiting all week for some news person to pose the question, in the midst of all this "the tea partiers, town hallers and Joe Wilson shows that whites are racist and don't vote for blacks." while 95% of the blacks voted for Pres. Bobble Head.
THAT'S not "RACIST!
I think this means nothing, it is "situation normal".
The sample was not "likely voters" or even "registered voters", some % of the population will always be dissatisfied with whomever is in office.
Even if they are dissatisfied with Emperor Zero they will still get on the church bus in 2012 and cast their vote for him again, it's not like they are going to vote for a Republican. These people have made an emotional investment in this guy; it's similar to an abused spouse, they may not be happy with him but they will not leave him.
Blacks don’t like the fact that Obama appointed too many white boys and not enough “bros” in his administration. Not matter. In 2012, Obama will still get 99.5% of the black vote. If we nominate Condi Rice, she could lower Obama’s black support to 95%.
Well, being a southerner, what I’m going to say will be dismissed by some, out of tired old regional and racial stereotypes.
But, I’ve known and been friends with black people most of my life, even attended historically black churches, not just to weddings and funerals, but for regular services on occasion. They’re nearly all churchgoing people who believe. Licentious behavior is overlooked far too often, but they believe.
It’s DeathCare™ and abortion, plus economics. They know all too well about governments who think they have absolute power of life and death over them. Black people in the US, by and large, have an abiding respect for life that is Biblically based, and they live it. As odd as it sounds to outsiders, the huge number of single mothers actually bear witness to this. It’s but one example of Christianity on the one hand, and being all too accepting of adultery on the other, but there it is. Some claim it’s a heritage from slavery, such behavior, but I can’t say I necessarily agree.
They descend from people who were literally owned, recently enough for the family stories from grandparents and great grandparents to still be heard and shared, and know the mindset when they see it. Took long enough to recognize it, though.
That’s the lasting price we’ve paid for the aftermath of slavery and forced segregation. The socialists were able to hoodwink most of them due to their desperation, and rode into power on their backs. Now, it’s coming clear just who rode them.
It's a slow elimination process, but there are a number of different groups, who are all in bed with each other, heading in the same direction and helping to drive socialism/communism with this President forward, that will not share in the power at the end of the road!
They will still vote 99% for the assclown.
How many of those 35% are pissed at him because he’s not paying their mortgage and putting gas in their car?
I wouldn’t read too much into this without better analysis. People disapproving of Obama could mean a lot of things, like he isn’t moving his agenda fast enough for them, or he isn’t socialist enough, or the government checks aren’t big enough.
There was an interesting story the other day about how the NFL overwhelmingly-—players, coaches, owners-—gives to Republicans, in massive amounts. The SD Chargers were #1, giving hundreds of thousands to the GOP!
I don’t know which poll it was because I just caught the tail end, but on whether the tea parties opposing Obama were racist, 42% blacks said “no”. I think blacks are becoming more main stream. Of course they voted for the first black president in large numbers, but this poll proves they are beginning to think for themselves. IMHO
Not yet my friend.
Even if the Black voter realizes that Obama and his party are not what they were sold to be. It does not necessarily follow that he will change his voting habits.
The Republicans would have to offer the Black voter an alternative that they were willing to vote for over the Dimocrats.
Even though McCain was near the bottom of my choices for President I still went out and campaigned for him. Even though I was thoroughly disgusted with the Republicans after their spendthrift years in the majority I still went out and worked for their reelection.
I would take a great deal of persuasion to get me to vote for another party’s candidate. I identify myself more as a conservative than a Republican but I know that the only chance for the conservative cause is in the Republican Party.
I expect that the thinking of Black Democrats will be similar.
