Why are many whites turning against Pres. Obama & Democrats? ("1st Black President" loses luster)

President Obama continues to have problems when it comes to race.

White independent voters helped make Barack Obama the first African-American president in history, but now a lot of them apparently don't like him so much anymore.

A CNN poll taken shortly after President Obama was inaugurated in April 2009 showed a 61 percent approval rating among whites. That same poll now shows the president with a 34 percent rating among whites. Meanwhile, more than 90 percent of blacks approve of the job the president is doing.

And there are more signs of trouble when it comes to support from white voters - not just for the president but for the Democrats in general.

Another new poll shows working-class whites are flocking to the Republican Party, which will make it even tougher for the Democrats to keep control of Congress.

The Associated Press-GFK poll shows whites without college degrees prefer Republican candidates by 22 percentage points. That's double the margin of the past two elections.

Isn’t the percentage of Black support of Obama approximately equal to the percentage of Blacks who thought OJ innocent?

Think of Obongo as a rap star who had a big hit two years ago but nothing much since then. Just a lot of bluster and bragging like his friend JayZee

“Why are many whites turning against Pres. Obama & Democrats? (”1st Black President” loses luster)”

Maybe there’s more to the job of being the President of the United States than just being black. (Why did that even have to be said?)

...the real question should be why do blacks still support him by a 93-7% margin.

What did GW call it--the "subtle racism of lowered expectations"....???

He has supposed independents vote for him because they were too detached from their politics.
I think they believed no matter who got in, they could not damage anything in the country that much.
Obama proved that wrong, many know someone who has lost a home, jobs and hope. They see the assault on business, privacy and people's personal bank accounts and ALL reasonable people start to say “NO MORE”.

IMO the 91% of blacks that still support him are backing him over race and their ego, not any reality that exists in the real world.

It is because the US is a racist nation and never really gave the President a Chance a White President would have been given. Look at Reagan...../BARF SARC

Why did it have to be said? Because when all hell breaks loose on Obama, the MSM needs that race card to play.

Maybe it has something to do with Obama’s pal talking about “killing cracker babies.”

Obama and his ilk are racists who hate whites.

Their White Guilt syndrome has been filled, as his presidency seems to be failing; thus, they can move on.

Because he has a third world intellect that honestly is going to become a national monument to stupidity.

In fact, the U.S. Mint is going to manufacture Obama coins as an investment. Because, as any collector will tell you, coins are more valuable when there is a mistake on them.

Oh! and his race has nothing to do with it. Though his last was his well ..... Last.

Phil Valentine has pointed out they don’t dare poll for blacks without college educations because that would be racist, right? But they’ll poll for uneducated whites all day and night and call them stupid bigots.

Turds don't have a luster, they just sit there, stink, and attract flies...

It just took awhile for people to notice the flies. Everyone now sees him for what he is (even the blacks) but they can't admit they were duped, so they smile and take pictures with the historic turd, but on election day they will stay how and scrape it off their feet.

The ONLY thing the libs could really claim about Obama is that he was “America's first black president” and they completely ignored the fact that Obama had never held down a real job.

Bill was the first black President. Barak is the first Muslim President.
