Obama Is Doing Stunningly Bad Among African Americans In North Carolina
Business Insider ^ | 6/12/2012 | Brett LoGiurato

Posted on 06/12/2012 1:42:41 PM PDT by Nasher

President Barack Obama is rapidly losing support among African-American voters in North Carolina, a new poll out today from the Democratic-leaning Public Policy Polling shows.

The poll finds that Mitt Romney would get 20 percent of the African-American vote if the election were held today, compared with 76 percent for Obama. Overall, Romney has a 48 percent to 46 percent lead on Obama in the crucial swing state.

Obama received 95 percent of the support from African-Americans in North Carolina in the 2008 election, compared with just 5 percent for Republican nominee John McCain.

I think you’re right.

He may be that rare presidential incumbent that loses his re-election bid. There has only been 1 incumbent that replaced the other party only to lose reelection in modern times— jimmuh carter (H.W. Bush lost, but he did not replace the other party). Until a few weeks ago I was resigned to an Obama win.

Not so anymore.

When they get in the voting booth, they will STILL vote for him.

Blacks are also very religious in this area and many pastors are against O’Bummer since he came out for gay marriage. Remember, NC just opposed gay marriage by a 2/3 to 1/3 margin....

I have wondered if they know that barring a miracle, they have already lost.

The only color that matters on Election Day is GREEN. I have less than I once did and I will bet that most other people do, too.

If I were a black man, I would find the Obama "got your back" ads incredibly insulting and condescending. Obama hasn't done a damn thing for the black people (except put more of them on food stamps) and for him to patronize them in such a manner is disgraceful.

For those who are not familiar with those ads, they feature clips of Obama on the campaign trail in 2008 making campaign promises (that were never fulfilled) over a backdrop of funky soul music. When I first heard one on the radio, it sounded like one of those parody SNL commercials.

Let's hope that the trend in North Carolina is replicated all across America. Obama doesn't care about the black people or the American people in general. He only cares about himself.

Judging from the Blacks on talk radio in Cleveland, they are totally disgusted that obama is giving attention to everybody from moslems to homosexuals, but nothing for them. What it looks like is, No obama stash, no obama vote.

It could be true but I don’t place much faith in polls. There are lies, damned lies and statistics.

They don’t want to be associated with him. He’s too far Left.

They wont’ vote against Obama. Obama represents racial progress.

Blacks, however, may not volunteer and turn out in the high % as last time around. Even they are sick of the blame Bush b.s. at this point.

North Carolina Racists!

Actually, they might be described by the left as, "Self-Hating", rather than racist.

They love him because he’s black. They hate him because he’s white. Well, at least the gays want to sleep with him!

Black Americans are starting to figure out that 0bama has as much in common with them as a Swedish bikini model.

Other than the color of his skin, he doesn’t have anything in common with them. His purported father was Kenyan, his mother was white. He did not grow up in the American black (civil rights) experience. Actions speak louder than words and all thought he’s spouted plenty of bull in the black community’s direction, he’s been more than obsequious to Moslems .... and that is who he grew up with in Indonesia. None of this should be a surprise to the black voters in this country ... if they had taken a look behind the exterior color, they would have seen the foreigner who is now in the WH, doing his best to destroy the country.

“Oh. My. God. The election is over. Obama is toast. He’s losing in the biggest landslide in history.”

And that, is the True horror of the Zero Presidency. He’s lowered the bar for what’s acceptable So far, that even his ideological twin, O’Romney, is going to trounce him.

The Zero has been such a monumental disaster that at this point the Republicans could run a dead horse against him and still win.

And after Zero’s retired, that bar will remain lowered That much further because of him. It is not going to be raised again.

We’re screwed.
