"... its white voters vs. everyone else"

Looking at the polls, this presidential election season is poised to give birth to the most racially polarized electorate in U.S. history.
Whites are backing Mitt Romney in historic numbers, while Obama is garnering historic levels of support among blacks, Latinos and Asians.
While the latest NBC/Wall Street Journal poll has the president in a dead heat with his GOP opponent, recent surveys show wide swings in support based on race. In other words, it looks like white voters versus everyone else.
Looking at a composite of polls, Obama’s white support averages 37.9 percent, ranging from 35 percent to 41 percent—the share of white support he enjoyed in 2008. Meanwhile, Romney’s portion of the white electorate is somewhere between 53 and 59 percent—20 points higher than Obama in four major polls— if these figures are to be believed.
Meanwhile, among voters of color in general, the President has close to 80 percent support. With African-Americans, support is nearly exclusively in the Obama column at around 95 percent, the share he received in 2008.
Latinos favor the president by a 3-to-1 margin, with Obama maintaining a 74 percent to 26 percent lead, according to LD Vote Predict projections. In a tight race, turnout in the growing Hispanic population is key, though they are underrepresented in the electorate.
Similarly, Americans of Asian descent, now surpassing Latinos as the fastest growing immigrant group, prefer President Obama by an increasingly wide margin.
According to the National Asian American Survey, likely voters of Asian descent back Obama by a 50 to 19 percent margin, with 30 percent of voters undecided...

Blacks vote in local elections almost exclusively for black Democrats. They have the race problem.
If I read these Journolistas and their term “dead heat” one more time, I’m going to projectile hurl.
I don’t give a damn what color his skin is, his politics is as red as a Chinese whorehouse.......
Give me a physical break!
Whites against the world...trying to hold it down and back and exploit it.
You’d think after awhile, brighter people would catch a clue.
Actually, the brighter people do, and they ain’t all white, by a longshot.
Already setting up the racism excuse for the Kenyan’s loss — I’ll take it.
It is totally bogus, but I’ll take it.
I say it’s Mulatto voters against all comers.
Dang mean Ol Whitey.
54% of Hispanics self-identify as white.
“Already setting up the racism excuse for the Kenyan’s loss — I’ll take it.”
Yup, me too. I don’t give a sh*t anyways. As long as Klownie the Kenyan is out, you can call me “super duper racist dude”, and watch me LOL at your face as the 4 years of darkness is finally over.
Asians are stupid to support democrats, as are the Jews. Anybody productive should not support that party in any way.
Amen brother, amen !
Even in 2008 it was happening. On Inauguration Day, 2009, some employees at my office requested that a TV be turned on briefly so that they could see the inauguration. "It's an historic event," they said. "It's important."
One of the managers, a young black woman in her thirties, turned to them with flashing eyes. "Maybe to you," she said sharply. "Not to everybody. Not to me."
She is very far from being alone. I have several conservative black friends, and they hate Obama worse than I do.
These race-baiting journalists keep turning up the heat, but the kitchen door’s locked, so once it’s too hot for them, there’s nowhere for them to go . . .
They generally have higher IQ's.
nope. why expect the msm to get it right.
this election is all about makers versus takers. are you a freaking socialist, or are you not? that is what it’s all about.
and don’t misunderstand mitt ain’t perfect and i’d have rather had a different candidate, but he isn’t a devout socialist intent on continuing to economically disassemble this country. the socialist in the white house HAS to go. and if mitt ain’t cutting it in his term, he’s going to go, too.
“If this is true, I’m really disappointed in the Asians.
They generally have higher IQ’s.”
That is a myth. They are simply more serious about education. The “smartest” Asian kid in my school when I was a kid couldn’t find his way out of a paper sack, unless instructions were written in a book.
At any rate, I am surprised at Asians being for Obastard, because every family I have ever known owned small businesses and worked their asses off for it.
Mexicans being for Obummer also surprises me because I have never detected any love between Mexicans and blacks.
