After a summer of healthcare battles and sliding approval ratings for President Obama, the White House is facing a troubling new trend: The voters losing faith in the president are the ones he had worked hardest to attract.
New surveys show steep declines in Obama's approval ratings among whites -- including Democrats and independents -- who were crucial elements of the diverse coalition that helped elect the country's first black president.
Among white Democrats, Obamas job approval rating has dropped 11 points since his 100-days mark in April, according to surveys by the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press. It has dropped by 9 points among white independents and whites over 50, and by 12 points among white women -- all groups that will be targeted by both parties in next year's midterm elections.
"While Obama has a lock on African Americans, his support among white voters seems to be almost in a free fall," said veteran Republican pollster Neil Newhouse.

Calling the American people stupid is as smart as a democrat.
When the choice is between a liberal "nut job" republican and a real liberal democrat.
Gee why didn’t I think of that :-)
True, and also because McCain was an old geezer, didn't run a good campaign, and couldn't compete with the star power of Obama, as well as being a RINO.
The ACLU is now reporting that they, at the behest of the Obama Administration, will file a “civil rights class action lawsuit” against the entire Caucasian race of the United States. They will further ask for “trebel damages”, amounting to the entire GDP of the USA, according to their Lead Attorney Richard Head.
Jonah is a wise man. Thankfully, however, some do see Obama to be leading them down the wrong path.

Are you saying that blacks cannot think beyond their own immediate gratification? How racist!
Most people , white or black, can be bought off, unfortunately. Have you noticed how the MSM and the Republican Party never wants to talk about Affirmative Action?
Not one word from anyone on that issue, not even Duncan Hunter.
I don’t see that as accurate. See post 41.
I agree. I think he made a racist statement, to be honest.
This is why white people should have the right to vote. They don’t see Obama like people of color do. (sic)
Well golly, in light of recent social trends in our society I am about to dig up a rifle that happens to be black!
