Obama Approval Down Most Among Hispanics in Past Year (drops 23 percent)
Gallup ^ | December 5, 2013 | Jeffrey M. Jones

Posted on 12/05/2013 3:43:55 PM PST by Zakeet

President Barack Obama's job approval rating averaged 41% in November, down 12 percentage points from 53% last December, his high-water mark since his first year in office. Hispanics' approval has dropped 23 points over the last 12 months, the most among major subgroups, and nearly twice the national average. His approval rating also showed above-average declines among low-income Americans, nonwhites, moderates, and moderates who identify with or lean toward the Democratic Party.

All major subgroups showed at least some decline over the past year in their views of the way Obama is handling his job as president.

The subgroups showing the smallest changes are those that are generally least approving of Obama, and thus had less room to drop -- conservatives who identify with or lean toward the Republican Party (from 7% to 5%), self-identified Republicans (from 11% to 8%), and self-identified conservatives of any party affiliation (from 26% to 20%).

Obama's approval rating among his core political supporters -- who started at higher levels of approval last December -- show declines that match or exceed the national average. This includes a 13-point drop among self-identified Democrats, 14 points among self-identified liberals, and 11 points among liberals who identify as Democrats or lean toward the Democratic Party.

They’ll flock back to the “get stuff free” fold in time for the 2016 presidential election.

Yeah, well. He got their votes, so it really doesn’t make the slightest difference, does it?

What a bunch of low-info suckers.

Bingo. Any conservative who thinks this is some sort of a “victory” isn’t even on the battlefield.

They are disappointed because they are not getting ENOUGH free stuff. In 2016 they will vote for whomever the union thugs tell them to vote for.

Secure the border, Obama. That’ll teach these Latin ingrates a measure of respect for the chief executive.

That and the very idea that 5% of Conservatives approve of his job performance is puzzling and depressing.
Someone needs to explain how a single "conservative" could possibly approve of the Calamity in the White House.

Even if I were an old yellow dog Dimocrap, I would be quite embarrassed with Obumbo, but hard core Marxist/Socialist, aka DUmmies, will stick with him until they find a smoother Marx or Lenin.
To them, an inept Commie is better then no Commie at all.

"Obama Approval Down Most Among Hispanics in Past Year (drops 23 percent)..."

..... Awwwwe C'mon .... we all know that all the Prez needs to do is unilaterally put all of the Illegal trespassers on the fast track to citizenship giving them the coveted status of Super Special Ultra Citizen. Then offer them a special wage of 15 bitcoin an hour along with an attractive retirement parachute and free healthcare to just sit at home to spawn and start spitting out new Democrats by the millions, and Heck ..... they will all come flocking back to the fold and declare anybody that objects to this ..... is a rabid Raysiss.

.... Yup .... that's how it's done!!!

No, no. Boehner intends to redeem the Hispanic voters for Obama, whose interest in amnesty supersedes their snit over Obamacare’s stratospheric cost to the people.

Boehner is bringing immigration reform (amnesty) to the floor in 2014, following the state deadlines to enter the ‘14 races, a move that advantages the incumbents vote. (According to RedState.com)

They’ll never leave the commie ‘RAT plantation. This means absolutely nothing and Gallup wasted their time asking this question.

“Bingo. Any conservative who thinks this is some sort of a “victory” isn’t even on the battlefield.”

I disagree. To many times in the past the Conservatives have passed up the opportunity to mock and marginalize the left. The left voted for this loser. It needs to be fed back into their faces in the most mocking way possible.

Hispanics will still vote in droves for the liberal Democrat who succeeds Obama and gets the nomination in 2016.

So what if in December, 2013 hispanics have “soured” on Obama: He is not running again and he still has three years to continue his destruction of the United States. That hispanics have now soured on him is meaningless.
