Barack Obamas favorability ratings among white women have significantly depreciated in recent months, particularly among Democrats and independents, posing an immediate obstacle for the likely Democratic nominee as he moves to shore up his partys base.
According to a new report by The Pew Research Center for the People & the Press, half of white women now have a negative perception of Obama.
Forty-nine percent of white women view Obama unfavorably, while only 43 percent hold a favorable opinion. In February, 36 percent of these women viewed Obama unfavorably while 56 percent had a positive perception of the likely Democratic nominee.
Over the same period, Democratic white womens negative view of Obama increased from 21 to 35 percent, while their positive view decreased from 72 to 60 percent roughly the same rate as white women overall.
White men, in general and among Democrats, have only shown a slight drop off in their perception of Obama one-third of the shift seen in white women. About 20 percent of Democratic white men have an unfavorable view of Obama, a figure which has remained stable since February.
Pew also found that among self-described Clinton supporters, the negative shift against Obama is more severe among women than men.
The Pew findings come as Obamas campaign struggles to close up the primary race while also attempting to avoid the perception of pushing Hillary Clinton out, for fear of offending her most loyal supporters the largest bloc of which are white women.

C’mon sweeties, get on board!
They don’t like Obama?
Sheesh. Typical white women.
Obviously, typical white women are smarter than to fall for his so-called charm and audacity.
Sorry couldn't resist
“Ain’t no Mandingo.”
In Obama’s book, he called a friend of his an uncle tom for doing as Barack’s father did and persuing white women.
Now Barry is doing the same to get their support.
Obama flip flop.
Where the white women at?
Sorry couldn’t resist
LOL
Obviously, they’re all racists,
while those 99% of blacks voting for Obama are just
“ethnically proud”.

[Barrack Hussein Obama’s record in the Illinois senate:]
- Opposed the Defense of Marriage Act; would work to repeal it in the U.S. Senate; would not vote for any legislation that would restrict the ability of gays and lesbians to marry.
- Opposed the Born Alive Infant Protection Act four times in Illinois. A similar bill passed the U.S. Senate 98-0. The Born Alive bill would have prohibited a baby from being born alive but left to die according to the mother’s wishes. Obama inexplicably opposed this bill not once, twice, or three times, but four times.
- Obama took almost $90,000 in bundled contributions from the Council for a Livable World. The council is a well-known anti-defense organization.
- Obama puts rigid ideology before what’s best for the people of Illinois, and presumably he would do that as President as well. He has on several occasions made public his opposition to the NAFTA trade agreement and his belief that it must be negotiated. All the while thanks to NAFTA, Illinois exports $1.3 billion in agricultural goods to Canada.
- Obama refused to vote for a bill in the Illinois State Senate that would have increased penalties for drug traffickers.
- Obama voted against a bill that would have delivered the death penalty to gang members who murder first responders.
- Finally, just in case you thought it couldn’t get any worse, Obama was the only member of the Illinois State Senate to vote against a bill that prohibited early release for sexual predators.
Cant kill the innocent fast enough, cant free the guilty soon enough!
I think he reminds them of the slick black guy who tried to talk his way into their pants in college.
Of course, race baiters are already accused of not wanting Obama to win.
I don’t know about this. Most of the people I know who are supporters of Obama are white liberal women — sho seem more interested in him for his “charisma” than for any political position he stands for.
Aunt Esther isn’t going to like this.
I think this is scrapping the bottom of the barrel for those who are looking for ways to annoy people...
It's truly scary to imagine Barry Hussein as prez with a rat congress. Not sure if America could ever recover...
Sigh.
