Since the start of his presidency, U.S. President Barack Obama's approval rating has declined more among non-Hispanic whites than among nonwhites, and now, fewer than 4 in 10 whites approve of the job Obama is doing as president.
Obama last week fell below 50% approval in Gallup Daily tracking for the first time in his presidency, both in daily three-day rolling averages and in Gallup Daily tracking results aggregated weekly.
(snip)
Blacks' support for Obama has averaged 93% during his time in office, and has been at or above 90% nearly every week during his presidency. Thus, part of the reason Obama's support among nonwhites has not dropped as much as his support among other groups is because of his consistent support from blacks. (With Hispanics' approval rating down five points, greater declines among Asians, Native Americans, and those of mixed races account for his total seven-point drop among nonwhites.)
The accompanying table shows how Obama's approval rating has changed by subgroup from his first full week in office to the most recent week. The only subgroup showing a greater change than whites is Republicans, down 24 points during this time. Independents' approval of Obama has declined nearly as much (down 18 points), whereas support among Democrats is down only 6 points.
Obama's strongest support comes from blacks, Democrats, and liberals -- all of whom give him approval ratings above 80%. He maintains solid support of more than 60% from nonwhites, Hispanics, and young adults.

if I were Obama, I would replace his entire cabinet and start all over again
Exactly... 90 percent of blacks support Obama strictly because of the color of his skin... What a serious setback to race relations Obama is. MLK’s Dream quickly turning into a nightmare.

If I were Obama, I would dump the Liberal machine running his admin, adopt purly Conservative agenda then appologize to President Bush on behalf of all the Rats that tried to destroy him and then get this country moving again in the right direction.
He would be mid 50’s for the rest of his term.

Question: Why would the skin pigmentation a person has have any effect on that person’s reasonable assessment regarding the President’s job performance? For me personally, my skin pigmentation plays no role whatsoever in my thinking processes. My critical thought and logical reasoning is in no way dependent on melatonin concentrations in my skin cells.
OK, where is he — that bratty little “that’s racist” kid???
You white people who voted for this charlatan . . .

What were you doing at that guy’s house? Geez!

Not so this time. Many African Americans ae unemployed, but worse many small businesses owned and operated by African American business folks have closed their doors. African Americans are worse off under Obama policies as they remain chained to the bottom of the economic totem pole. And....as POTUS Obama tanks further (he will) they will begin to realize he is not the man and, never will be. Now having said that, if Mr. Obama ever reaches an 75-80% approval level amongst African Americans, his political career will be over. The fact is, in the eyes of the majority rest of the country Mr. Obama is living in a failed Presidency!!!
I was just in OH and the people there hate Obama (i’m talking about people,including some in my family, who voted for him). So i told them, i hope you people are happy you voted for this guy.
A lot of my family who voted for him don’t have jobs anymore. They vote the union line come hell or high water. They deserve what they got.
More like national socialists.
The 39 percent approval from whites is high, must be from socialists or from those who fear being tagged “racist”, or maybe both.
I was there for a party, a friend of the wife's.
But it is amazing. When it comes to politics, they only see color. They only vote Democrat. They all want socialism and communism.
They wont change until they see the system collapse and feel serious pain. 2010 - 2011 we should see some cities and states go bankrupt because of their policies.
They just lack political understanding. It’s inbred in their educations.
