"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."

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.

Duh? I know voter turnout is never 90%. What I meant is that lots of previous black voters for Obama just won't bother to show up if they are no longer enthusiastic about his candidacy.

The Democrats are still facing a bloodbath in the down-ticket races.
