Reuters-Ipsos Poll: Obama approval drops to 43 pct driven by Democrats
Reuters ^ | Oct 13, 2010

President Barack Obama’s poll numbers keep going down, and it’s not the Republicans who are to blame.

Obama’s approval rating fell to a new low of 43 percent since he took office, down from 47 percent last month, according to a Reuters-Ipsos national poll.

Ipsos pollsters say it appears that much of that drop comes from Democrats whose approval of Obama fell to 70 percent from 78 percent last month.

Among likely voters, 48 percent said they will choose Republican candidates in the midterm elections, while 44 percent say they will vote for a Democrat. That gap narrowed in the full survey sample, with 44 percent saying they would vote for the Republican candidate vs. 43 percent for the Democrat.

Sixty-three percent said the country is on the wrong track, which was the highest since Obama took office. Sixty-five percent said creating jobs is what Congress should focus on in 2011, and most said the best indicator of economic recovery is a drop in the unemployment rate.

I imagine if you excluded his 91% approval among blacks, his approval among all other Americans would be closer to 30%.

There is alot to be said about this. Many people , including many blacks thought Obama would long term set race relations back 40 years ad it's coming to fruition . Obama and his fanatical support by Blacks has the whole country turning on them, people are feeling that 17% of of population is trying to setup a permanent hegemony of Black elites based on nothing but skin color. That this new liberal Black elite, lead by Moochella ,Bam and Oprah is out to topple the whole country by destroying our insitutions and overwhelming our welfare state. They have their millions of Black racist devotees who are cheering the collapse of the culture , even though it is toppling right on their own heads. Even Madison Avenue is running scared, look at your TV commercials there is has to be a requisite Black face in each of them, corporations are running scared of this new rising Black power structure. The most famous and hilarious of these is the famous Microsoft video where a large black man is gratitiously places among white housewives for now other reason than they needed to show a Black guy. The Illuminati sees the African American as the perfect foil, insulated by political correctness and more than willing dupes lured by pie crust promises of an easy life,hedonism and a way to now be the oppressors and slave-masters.

It's actually worse than that. Blacks make up 13% of the population, but in the television land of the Obama era, they make up more like 40%.

I noticed the dramatic increase in black faces on TV not long after he was elected.
