With just about a year to ago until Election Day, the U.S. is a racially divided nation when it comes to President Barack Obama.
Consider this: A new CNN/Opinion Research Poll shows 61% of whites disapprove of the way Obama is handling his job vs. 36% who don’t – that’s almost two-to-one. For non-whites, it's almost the mirror image. Only 32% disapprove while 67% approve.
For a president who was supposed to symbolize a post-racial America, this is not good news. When Obama defeated John McCain in 2008, he did it with significant support from white Americans.
Exit polls showed Obama won 43% of white voters. That was the largest share of white support in a two-man race since 1976. Among young white voters, Obama did even better, getting 54% of their support. If Obama wants a second term, he needs to win back support from more white Americans in the coming months.
Meanwhile our new poll shows other results that could spell trouble for Obama. Overall, he gets a 46% approval rating, with 52% saying they disapprove.
When you compare that rating with recent incumbents running for re-election, the president ranks only above Jimmy Carter and Gerald Ford. They both lost their re-election bids. Most incumbents who win re-election had an approval rating above 50% a year before the election.
Finally, the poll shows 54% of the crucial independent voters disapprove of the job Obama is doing...

Obama is half white.
Lib heads would explose if those 2/3rds voted for Cain.
Can President Obama be elected without 95% of blacks voting for him?
racism is so OVER....
Looking at my electoral college map
The only ways I see Obama winning re-election is: Taking OH and PA
or
running the table in the far Southwest (Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada)
I’m with you. Cafferty is, and always has been, a hater of all things conservative.
“Almost 2/3’s”? You have got to be kidding?I’d guess the number is much higher than that/I would venture that the true number is upwards of 3/4’s of whites.
Where’s the “That’s Racist!” kid?
2008 was mass hysteria/the bandwagon effect plus Bush fatigue. Do you think they can recreate that?
One thing is certain... it’s going to be a nail-biter down to the very end.
CNN’s Jack Cafferty plays the race card to give Obama’s predictable loss in the 2012 election a rationale: racism. This has a two-fold benefit; it excuses Obama if he loses (likely) but it also sets up the uninformed voter who still buys into the canard that not voting for Obama is a form of racism. Of course, the Republican party nominating Herman Cain would obviate that ploy.
Meanwhile non-whites support him by a 2-1 margin.
Boy, they’ve sure set the template perfectly to start screaming RAAAAAACISTS if he loses.
It also sets the stage for riots if Obama loses.
In no state are blacks anywhere near being in the majority. We elect presidents by the electoral college, which is a state-by-state system.
Sure, in his home country of kenya, but as a interloper in the USA, NOPE.
Gator, boy, you sure do got a lot swirling around in your head, must be a swarm of hornets that got into that empty space and are now nesting.
Stop snortin' coke and try some Wasp killer and maybe that swirlin' sound will abate and you will be able to think straight.
With the vomitous mess that Obama has made will Americans go into the booth and vote for more of the same?
“...but a lot of folks don’t want to be negative about a black politician to a stranger on the phone...”
I will.
Especially when that particular half-black politician has spent most of his time trying to erase my culture, my heritage, my people, and my country.
Especially when that particular half-black politician appoints a genuine racist POS to the position of AG of the US who lets other racist POSs intimidate white voters at the polls... Or lets thousands of American firearms get into the hands of racist gangmembers and drug cartels in Mexico...
I have NO problem at all being negative about this Marxist punk-ass chump who is trying to erase us.
But you’re right, 2Dvet, it is probably a LOT higher because so many whites have been brainwashed into remaining quiet about race issues...
At least among whites it is...
not so much “over” among minorities.
