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.

The interesting # is his approval among non-blacks. Not counting blacks, 38% approve of him. And that’s among adults. Putrid. That’s probably the fastest drop among non-blacks of any President ever. If they actually polled likely voters, he’s probably closer to 1/3 approval. Before Thanksgiving.
In fact, considering that Bush had near 0% approval from blacks I’d wager that if you took just Obama’s approavl among non-blacks and Bush’s approval among non-blacks, they’re actually very similar.
The media loves to tell us how the GOP is becoming too white, how we’re not diverse, etc... They never talk about how Obama’s base and strength is near 100% support from blacks. I wonder if we’ll start to hear them talk about how Obama has to reach out to white voters.
Also, down to 44 among Independents. Tied within the MOE with the woman who is supposed to be kryptonite to independents. I’m sure they’ll bring that up.
Obama should have Tom Petty play the WH Xmas party. He can open up with “Free Fallin”
I think these “ white/black” polls stink!!!!!!!!
But the question is will they show up to vote?
Obama’s support among non-Hispanic whites is down to 39%, and this is a poll of ADULTS. Not likely voters, not registered voters, not even registered voters—adults. With these numbers, Obama would be hard-pressed to crack 1/3 of the non-Hispanic white vote. And if he’s only at 60% among Hispanic adults, he’s probably at around 50% support among Hispanics that are likely voters.
That 49% overall approval rating among adults would translate into maybe 45% among likely voters, not enough to win reelection. And as for 2010, fuhgeddaboutit, Democrats will be running away from Obama in all but the most liberal districts, and it still won’t be enough to save many of them. Democrats in Congress are reading these polls, and with every passing day it becomes less likely that they’ll stick their necks out for Obama on unpopular measures such as Obamacare and Cap and Trade.
If any of these groups are racist, it is blacks.
EVERY other group shows drops in approval.
It’s “Melanin”.
Melatonin is the stuff that supposedly helps you sleep or something.
“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.”
Took the words right outta my mouth.
big decline especially with married college educated white women in the east and south...
There you have it!! Whites are all just a bunch of racists!!!!!!!
I believe you 100%. When we look at cities that are largely run by blacks, we see stunning levels of corruption and theft and the people living in terrible circumstances (mostly of their own making). The city managers are lazy and unconcerned about the public needs. All they do is steal and feather their own financial nests. But the black citizenry would rather continue electing black crooks and criminals than a white or Hispanic person who is honest and hard-working. Blacks are by far the most racist group in this country.
You should have said "most blacks". Not all of us drink the poison Kool-Aid of the left.
And, by the way....American blacks aren't African. Haven't been for a good many centuries now. Longer even than a lot of American whites who haven't been European in centuries.

What can I say. It is an uphill battle, but with Obama's numbers tanking--at least in USA, not too bad after only one year.
For me personally, my skin pigmentation plays no role whatsoever in my thinking processes.
The full answer would require me to write a lengthy dissertation here, but the short answer is that blacks have (for the most part) been the most thoroughly left-indoctrinated segment of the US population in the last hundred years.
It's entirely un-natural for an entire racial group to vote so monolithically for one party. Not a single other racial group in the US votes as lopsidedly Democrat as blacks do. It's no accident or co-incidence that they do. This is a manufactured voting bloc.
I stand corrected. Thank you.
You act like he doesn’t know what he is doing. He’s doing everything he planned. Wait, there’s more to come - what do you think his self appointed Czars are all about. You don’t go to a G*D damn America church for 20 years because you don’t believe the message.
I’m black, but I don’t have pictures of black luminaries on the walls of my house.
Back during Bush’s time, I had a really nice picture of the President and First Lady prominently displayed on one wall in my home office.
I used to get huge kicks out of just watching the reactions of my family members when they’d notice it.
If there hasn’t been any progress as of 2009, there ain’t a goin’ to be any. It’s called being foolish with your resources to waste any more on that continent.
You speak the truth. I'm for discontinuing foreign aid of every sort, around the world. And, we need to kick the UN out of the US while we're at it.
