"The president picks up support from just 35% of white voters overall. That’s eight points below the 43% of the white vote he won in 2008. Among white Democrats, 17% currently plan to vote for Romney."
Gallup June 12:
"Similarly, whites' support for Obama is six points lower than it was in October/November 2008 (38% vs. 44%), and blacks' is down four points (87% vs. 91%). At the same time, Hispanics' support, at 67%, is essentially unchanged."
Here comes the Racism card.
Solution: neither wins and the country does.
Please note the democrat party would be nothing without minority votes. This is why the fortune of America was taken for minorities, and why the country is being changed demographically into a “minority” country by democrats.
This is political reality meanwhile the white population has meekly accepted this racial manipulation.
I’d be beside myself with joy if they both lost.
Seems to me the article’s claim that neither candidate can win has to be incorrect. If the election were held today one of them would win.
Seems their guilt trip is over!
I wonder who was the first candidate to win a Presidential election despite getting a smaller number of votes from white voters than his opponent. Maybe Truman in 1948. Probably true of Kennedy in 1960, Carter in 1976, Clinton in 1992 and 1996, and Obama.
Apart from losing the white vote, that Obama has so deservedly lost, the minority voters who sat out last time, not wanting to vote against the first black president, will not sit out this time, not if they want to save their country.
If Obama's support among black voters is below 90%, he cannot win. And since that implies that voter turnout among blacks would be below 90%, the Democrats are facing a bloodbath in the down-ticket races nationwide.
Since at least 90% of blacks always vote Dem, whenever a Dem loses it’s because their white support was too low to win.
Turn up the white guilt. I can hear the whining now.
Obama”care” is the Death Knell for the United States of America.
The USA Federal Government is broke, and is forced to borrow 3 1/2 BILLION dollars from our grandchildren EVERY DAY!
This then is the Federal Grandchildren Tax, or FGT, separate from the FIT or Federal Income Tax that only 51 % of us pay.
2012 is the third year of the American Taxpayer Revolt, in spite of what our sorry politicians and apathetic Liberal Agenda Media try to tell us.
The Silent Majority is silent no more.
If Romney is elected he has promised to “keep the best parts” of Obama”care” and send it back to each of the 50 States, resulting in the Death Knell of each of the 50 States that choose to keep the Obama”care” Death Knell.
Right now there is a 50-50 chance that Obama will get re-elected.
No matter that Obama was the worst Federal Financial Steward EVER!
If Obama gets re-elected he will just declare, by Executive Order, that Obama”care” is legal, and thus the demise of America will be accomplished during his Reign of Obamanation.
If THE NINE SUPREMES knock down ANY part of Obama”care,” then Senate Minority Leader Son-of-a-Mitch McConnell and Esteemed Sobber-of-the-House Boehner will rush to replace the Court-damaged parts of America’s Death Knell.
The only possible positive outcome will be to ABOLISH FOREVER Obama”care.”
America cannot afford to continue Federal programs to buy votes with debt that we charge to our Grandchildren.
BTW, it is all very simple as illustrated by the words of Paul Harvey: “ WHEN YOUR OUTGO EXCEEDS YOUR INCOME, YOUR UPKEEP WILL BE YOUR DOWNFALL.”
The Grand Irony would be Obama losing to Romney by an Electoral Vote number similar McCain’s 2-to-1 loss to Obama.
Considering the current economic and joblessness conditions, Obama could lose by 2-to-1. The only current indicator that seems to be showing some signs of improvement is gas prices — and those are going down because the rest of the economy is sputtering.
I’ll bet his support among Americans is really low too.
What? Lowest since Mondale?
Does that mean that Obama is making Dukakis, the tank driver; look good?
A white person failing to vote against Obama in 2012 is SIMILAR to a Jew failing to vote against Hitler in 1932.
I said SIMILAR, not exact.
There are differences:
1. In 1932 Jews had reason to believe Hitler would not carry out his stated policies. White people in the US in 2012 should know better.
2. Obamugabe isn’t planning on killing all White people, so he’s not as bad as Hitler.
3. On the other hand (see #2), Germany didn’t have a great constitution in 1932 and Hitler didn’t have that much to destroy. The USA does, and Obamugabe does. And will.
While we worry about not enough whites voting for poor Obama, does anyone note minorities are far more “racist” in their voting habits?
