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.

Aw jeez — not the racism crap again!
I can’t believe racism is up 39%!
/s
No matter how Obama acts as president he will always maintain a 90% or above approval rating from Blacks.
Blacks vote along racial lines. Africa is tribe driven. Don’t forget these basic facts of life.
Remember boys & girls - only white people can be racist. The African-Americans who support Obama at 90%+ are all non-racist, they understand the policies and agree with them all.
The hope and change has worn off and we see the man for what he is. Some still cling to their hope but more and more see the bows, apologies, empty suit and teleprompter and realize we have elected a buffoon.
Knew it all along.
Obama’s meager approval rating has been disrtored by minorities giving him a high approval rating.
White guilt is a lot less filling than bread on the table, as these people are finding out.

Sine they tell us the Republican Party is the "White Party", something just doesn't jive.
Today their mad at Cheney for criticizing zer0 for bowing
It’s getting old, isn’t it?
Some still cling to their hope but more and more see the bows, apologies, empty suit and teleprompter and realize we have elected a buffoon.
Yet, he'll still be able to push EVERYTHING he wants through!!!

And of course, the whites and Hispanics are all racist.
Abandon ship?
