President Obama continues to have problems when it comes to race.
White independent voters helped make Barack Obama the first African-American president in history, but now a lot of them apparently don't like him so much anymore.
A CNN poll taken shortly after President Obama was inaugurated in April 2009 showed a 61 percent approval rating among whites. That same poll now shows the president with a 34 percent rating among whites. Meanwhile, more than 90 percent of blacks approve of the job the president is doing.
And there are more signs of trouble when it comes to support from white voters - not just for the president but for the Democrats in general.
Another new poll shows working-class whites are flocking to the Republican Party, which will make it even tougher for the Democrats to keep control of Congress.
The Associated Press-GFK poll shows whites without college degrees prefer Republican candidates by 22 percentage points. That's double the margin of the past two elections.

At least they didn’t say “losing his shine.”
Obama ran as a moderate and he was lying. People see that now.
Race, Race, Race...the real question should be why do blacks still support him by a 93-7% margin.
Why? Because he’s a tool of the Marxist.
Those are all Hillary voters....who simply pulled the party lever marked “sheep...pull this one”
The real question is why blacks are wedded to him.
Of course, they don’t want to answer that question.
Bigoted, biased headline. The real question is “Why Aren’t So Many Blacks Turning on Obama?”
Oh, that’s right: pigmentation.
Because he claimed he would heal the divide, but instead has done nothing but race bait and insult whites since coming into office.
Whites are not turning against Obama because he is black. They are turning against him because he is a socialist. Blacks, on the other hand, are NOT turning against Obama. Because he is black.
I’m not turning against him. I’ve hated that stinking commie since he crawled out of the gutter in Chicago. The only color I see on him is RED.
They're Reverend Wright "believers"...
They hate whitey...and don't forgetit.
There are exceptions and it shows in the numbers. I have a few black associates...and they're great.
better education, not stuck in as many government inner city schools......and don’t kid yourself.....Blacks are proud to finally have this opportunity, it will take them a long time to admit this guy is an ass.......but one day, they will.....
The comments following Cafferty’s piece are very revealing-—they all boil down to whites being too stupid to understand all the good that Obama is doing for them and are too easily scared by evil Republicans.
Simple, because he sucks as a President! It has nothing to do with color.
Less 'enlightened,' or less brainwashed. You decide.
I know many black people who would get my vote any day over most whites. I just would never vote for a Neo-Marxist, fascist who hates every thing this country stands for and wants to turn this nation into a third world hellhole like the twisted Marxist he is. I would never vote for a white person either, who thought like Bambi.
Wrong question. It should be:
Why are so few blacks turning against Obama?
