African Americans appear to be cooling their support for President Obama, with “strongly favorable” views of the president dropping dramatically from 83 percent five months ago to 58 percent today, a new Washington Post-ABC News poll shows.
The drop in support among black voters mirrors the declining support for Obama among all groups.

Hopefully not. We all of them to stay home on election day.
So expect the race card to be played again and again against the GOP nominee. Hispanics will go GOP, although they vote in smaller numbers than blacks. Blacks will simply stay home if they’re not motivated to vote.
What will motivate them is local GOTV efforts within their communities. If there isn’t a lot of $$$ available for this effort they won’t go out to vote.
His support with black voters has fallen all the way down to 86% now.
Like the great whitey John Edwards once said, “two Americas”
Those that can do those that can’t vote Democrat.

The vast majority will never change. I’m originally from the Philly area, so I’m more than cynical.
Sorry about the double posting...I swear I am only hitting the send off button once! ???
NOPE. When it comes time to pull the lever nit will be the full 95%.
Our only hope is that they are so discouraged they won't bother to show up.
But, I would challenge the main premise of this article. I thought 0 was doing very well for "His" people.
I'd be happy with limiting him to 105% of the black vote in 2012.
2 million more blacks voted in 2008 than in 2004. Even if he gets the same percentage of the black vote 2 million voters who stay home makes a big difference.
You’d be hard pressed to find any policy of 0bama’s that didn’t disproportionately favor blacks at the same time as disproportionally costing white Americans.
I think where Obama gets whacked is the hispanic and white vote. Hispanics’ favorability rating has declined 30 points to 48% since his election. Whites have declined 10 points to 38%, not as much but whites comprise 60% of the electorate.Blacks who show at the polls will still vote for him at the usual 90% level. But I do not think they will show up in the astronomical numbers that they did in 2008.If the economy remains stagnant, he is done. I just hope the Republicans can obtain a super majority in the Senate to undo all the damage he created during his 4 years starting with Obamacare.
Hence the need for that “Billion dollar campaign” war chest and “stimulus programs” to keep government union drone working and sending in dues money....Still, the bottom line is We conservatives are fired up while their base is sullen, pi**ed off and looking for a new hand out...guess who is going to stay home on election day...
Rush has hit on the real reason the leftists are in a funk.
They’ve gotten everything they thought they wanted,
and their ideology has been exposed as a huge failure.
They no longer can say “it just hasn’t been tried yet”, though some will continue to do so.
Very Interesting.
All of a sudden the Black voter has turned on Obama?
GASP!
And the Piss Stream Media (They tinkle on our legs and tell us it's raining) reports it?
And pray tell exactly how do the support numbers fall so far so fast?
Have the Piss Stream Media polls been "mis-reported" for some time?
Ah, perhaps that is why the full court press by Idi Obama to push for more "stash" money. The real polls, those pesky internals, are telling the Obungle Administration that he is heading for epic fail territory that makes Reagan/Carter 1980 look like a squeaker.
And now we are left to ponder, will the real unemployment numbers be revealed? Will the real inflation numbers be revealed? Will the real poll numbers, i.e. how does Sarah Palin get such a big jump in her poll numbers in one week, be revealed?

Genesis 47:13-27
ALL I CAN SAY ABOUT THIS IS WOW!!!
RECENT VIRGINIA CHURCH SERVICE - STIMULUS SERMON
I would love to give the Pastor of this predominantly black church in Virginia three cheers. This guy is obviously a leader. Perhaps we should each decide who our real leader is... It is amazing to see that very little has changed in 4,000 years..
........................................................
Good morning, brothers and sisters; it’s always a delight to see the pews crowded on Sunday morning, and so eager to get into God’s Word. Turn with me in your Bibles, if you will, to the 47th chapter of Genesis. We’ll begin our reading at verse 13, and go through verse 27.
Brother Ray, would you stand and read that great passage for us? .... (reading) ... Thank you for that fine reading, Brother Ray. So we see that economic hard times fell upon Egypt, and the people turned to the government of Pharaoh to deal with this for them. And Pharaoh nationalized the grain harvest, and placed the grain in great storehouses that he had built.. So the people brought their money to Pharaoh, like a great tax increase, and gave it all to him willingly in return for grain. And this went on until their money ran out, and they were hungry again.
So when they went to Pharaoh after that, they brought their livestock - their cattle, their horses, their sheep, and their donkey - to barter for grain, and verse 17 says that only took them through the end of that year. But the famine wasn’t over, was it? So the next year, the people came before Pharaoh and admitted they had nothing left, except their land and their own lives. “There is nothing left in the sight of my lord but our bodies and our land. Why should we die before your eyes, both we and our land? Buy us and our land for food, and we with our land will be servants to Pharaoh.” So they surrendered their homes, their land, and their real estate to Pharaoh’s government, and then sold themselves into slavery to him, in return for grain.
What can we learn from this, brothers and sisters?
That turning to the government instead of to God to be our provider in hard times only leads to slavery? Yes... That the only reason government wants to be our provider is to also become our master?
Yes. But look how that passage ends, brothers and sisters! Thus Israel settled in the land of Egypt , in the land of Goshen . And they gained possessions in it, and were fruitful and multiplied greatly.” God provided for His people, just as He always has! They didn’t end up giving all their possessions to government, no, it says they gained possessions! But I also tell you a great truth today, and an ominous one.
We see the same thing happening today - the government today wants to “share the wealth” once again, to take it from us and redistribute it back to us. It wants to take control of healthcare, just as it has taken control of education, and ration it back to us, and when government rations it, then government decides who gets it, and how much, and what kind.. And if we go along with it, and do it willingly, then we will wind up no differently than the people of Egypt did four thousand years ago - as slaves to the government, and as slaves to our leaders.
What Mr. Obama’s government is doing now is no different from what Pharaoh’s government did then, and it will end the same. And a lot of people like to call Mr. Obama a “Messiah,” don’t they? Is he a Messiah? A savior? Didn’t the Egyptians say, after Pharaoh made them his slaves, “You have saved our lives; may it please my lord, we will be servants to Pharaoh”? Well, I tell you this - I know the Messiah; the Messiah is a friend of mine; and Mr. OBAMA IS NO MESSIAH! No, brothers and sisters, if Mr. Obama is a character from the Bible, then he is Pharaoh. Bow with me in prayer, if you will...
Lord, You alone are worthy to be served, and we rely on You, and You alone. We confess that the government is not our deliverer, and never rightly will be. We read in the eighth chapter of 1 Samuel, when Samuel warned the people of what a ruler would do, where it says “And in that day you will cry out because of your king, whom you have chosen for yourselves, but the LORD will not answer you in that day...”
And Lord, we acknowledge that day has come. We cry out to you because of the ruler that we have chosen for ourselves as a nation. Lord, we pray for this nation. We pray for revival, and we pray for deliverance from those who would be our masters. Give us hearts to seek You and hands to serve You, and protect Your people from the atrocities of Pharaoh’s government. In God We Trust...

MrB...you know they wont EVER admit that but will continue to “double down” as they push their agenda...What I really think is happening is that they never got over Reagan beating the Russians and ending Soviet Communism...Their goal is the break up and ending of the USA and its restructuring into a European style welfare state...Just like what happened to the USSR...they want payback...hence all spending and obamacare and everything else they have been doing...
How many voted once?
yeah, I was tempted to get VERY angry at an acquaintance who accused me of opposing Hussein because he was black.
I wanted to say, “No, but you SUPPORT him because of that reason.”
