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.

They ignored most of his history.
Racism is all they’ve got left.
Simple. If you are supported by the Communist Party, there is no way that anyone with half a brain is going to support you.
It wasn’t subtle racism. He called it the soft bigotry of lowered expectations.
It is what it is.
For one, he's a Dem, and that has traditionally been a ~90% come-Hell-or-high-water demographic.
It's that ~3 percent that needs to be surveyed.
Thank you; I stand corrected.
obama is a racist...we are simply REACTING to his racism....
I never heard it but that quote is right on the mark.
Support my race
Support my country
And chooses one over the other, then
S/he's either a Raciest or a Patriot.
Life is simple choices. If the label fits, wear it proudly.
I don't recall him running as a moderate. I recall him saying all sorts of hard-left things during the campaign. However, I remember the media soft-pedaling everything he said, revising it, and making a point of telling the dumb-masses that "he really doesn't mean it."

Actually, he's a Marxist Tool!

“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”
An incompetent by any other name(or race) is still incompetent.
Race, Race, Race...the real question should be why do blacks still support him by a 93-7% margin.
They wanted to vote for the first black president. That takes five minutes. That’s quite a bit different in their minds than having Barak Obama as your president for four years. The second one is like waking up with a hangover and a Barak Obama tattoo.
Again, he never held down a real job in his life but that guy is quite a con artist.
LOL. Beat me too it!!
BEAT ME TO IT!
Why are Whites turning against the President?
Could it be he just sucks and he’s destroying our country with everthing he does?
