African-Americans are extremely supportive of President Obama, but their enthusiasm appears to have dramatically dropped from earlier this year, according to a new national poll.
The CNN/Opinion Research Corp. survey, released Tuesday, also indicates that Obama's presidency appears to have made blacks more optimistic about race relations, but less than one in five believe the new president has ushered in a new era of race relations in the country.
More than nine in 10 blacks questioned in the poll approve of the job Obama's doing in the White House, far higher than 42 percent of whites who approve of his performance as president.
But when asked how they personally feel about Obama's presidency, only 42 percent of black respondents say they're thrilled, with nearly half of those questioned saying they are happy but not thrilled.
The 42 percent who are thrilled is down from 61 percent in January, when Obama was inaugurated.

[CNN Polling Director Keating Holland] added, "Not surprisingly, whites are less supportive of Obama, although for a notable number of whites, their negative view of the president is due to the perception that he's not been liberal enough."
The CNN/Opinion Research Corporation poll was conducted December 16-20, with 1,160 adult Americans, including 259 African-Americans and 786 whites, questioned by telephone.

Mark Steyn (filling in for Rush) asked, “Where are all the Obama bumper stickers?”
In the Peoples Republik of Maryland. There are planty to go around. Ugh!!!
All over my neck of the woods.
Mine too, in Maryland
All over my area, too. If I see one more Obama sticker on a car with the “coexist” sticker, I’m going to hurl.
“African-Americans are extremely supportive of President Obama...”
.
That shouldn’t be surprising. Most Blacks feel more comfortable in the company of other Blacks and the same is applicable to members of the white race or any other race — it’s a natural inborn phenomenon.
That’s why this whole idea of multiculturalism and forced diversity is something that will never fully work. It’s merely a nightmare dreamed up by the UN.
Pathetic lunacy!!
According to John Kerry, his wife is as well.
Of course they vote By Race not Issues.
The Obama stickers around my neck of the woods are all on cars driven by whites. Only a handful though.
“they will regret ever getting duped by him.”
That’ll never happen. Anyone who was stupid enough to vote for him once will have no regrets. ALL the info concerning him was out there and available; they ignored it.
The jerks nearly unanimously loosed him on our country for a “thrill”? And the thrill is gone? And boo-hoo?? I can’t say what I’m thinking.
Racists, all.
Mark Steyn (filling in for Rush) asked, “Where are all the Obama bumper stickers?”
Where I live there are more now than there were during the election.
Once the realized that they were still going to have to pay their own bills, the thrill just went away.
Still seeing them in mASSachusetts. I had to make a run down there today - there was a jerk in a big, red F150 barrelling along with is cellphone in his ear and his Obama sticker on the bumper. Apparently, he isn’t concerned about the environment = he was doing 75+ mph!
They have shot their wad, though. They’ll never vote in the numbers they voted in ‘08. Never.
Nor enjoy the same level of authentic good will and support. Ever.
