Think about it. What compelled that 40% of Democrat voters in two widely separated states to vote ABO? You don't seriously think they did so because they live in so-called red states, do you? Go to any Democrat dominated enclave in a red state, and tell me that you 'feel the love'. I guarantee you, you won't. They're just as blue as their blue state comrades.
No - those Democrat voters voted ABO because he's injured them just as badly as he's injured the rest of us. Perhaps even more-so. Black unemployment is significantly up since Obama took office. His ruination of the US economy has hit that community worse than any other, and a lot of them are putting the blame squarely where it belongs.
'Hope & Change'? Many of those who voted for him feel betrayed and used by Obama. Those who were in the 18 to 29 y.o. demographic when Obama ran in 2008, gave him their support in an overwhelming tide, but their lot in life since that time has proven grim. Even if they themselves have managed to find employment and some measure of security, a good portion of their friends have not - and they know this.
Many in that group have older relatives whose fortunes have declined since Obama took office. It's like a plague that has touched every family. Very, very few have escaped harm. The result for Obama, is a lowered approval rating. How low is anyone's guess, since we can't seem to get reliable polling data - however, these two primaries have given us data that can't be argued with. They were a massive vote of no confidence.
