More White Voters Shift to GOP Under Obama

Published July 23, 2011 | FoxNews.com

The Republican Party has made big gains among white voters since President Obama was elected in 2008, but not among any other racial or ethnic group, according to a new Pew Research poll.

More than half of all white voters (52 percent) now identify themselves as Republicans, compared with 39 percent who are Democrats. That 13-percentage-point lead is significantly higher than three years ago, when 46 percent of white voters were Republicans, compared to 44 percent of Democrats.

At the same time, the Democratic Party’s dominance among black and Hispanic voters continues. Eighty-six percent of black voters and 64 percent of Hispanics are aligned with Democrats, compared to 8 percent of blacks and 22 percent of Hispanics for Republicans. In 2008, 88 percent of blacks and 66 percent of Hispanics voted Democratic, and 6 percent of blacks and 28 percent of Hispanics for Republicans.

The GOP gains among white voters was most pronounced among the young and the poor, the poll found. Republicans now hold an 11-point lead over Democrats among whites under age 30 (52 percent to 41 percent). Three years ago, Democrats held a seven-point lead at 49 percent to 42 percent. Among low-income voters – families with incomes less than $30,000 -- Republicans have a four-point lead, erasing the 15-point advantage Democrats had in 2008.

Evidently they're racist........(sic)

[EGPWS]

I know...Iknow...

But I have to do it.

[Cheetahcat]

Why would a ,White Person Vote for that hateful,Nitwit Student of the Wright house of Hate!

[kittymyrib]

The 98% of Blacks who voted for Obama didn’t choose him because he had a white mother.

[Nervous Tick]

>> Evidently they’re racist

Eighty-six percent of black voters voting for Obama because he’s black. So, yeah, they ARE racist.

[Jeff Vader]

more unintended consequences of the racist democrat identity politics

[Joe Boucher]

No way man,
“the magic negro”, is going to bring us all together.

[Grunthor]

They voted for him because he was black, now they will vote against him because they aren’t retarded.

[musicman]

[gov_bean_ counter]

Wonder if the shift is reflected in he weighting of polling samples.

[I see my hands]

"They voted for him because he was black, now they will vote against him because they aren’t retarded"

Yeah, they are retarded.. or have some mental/character deficiency. And those aren't conditions one recovers from. Regardless of how they vote in 2012 they will remain the enemies of freedom. No accommodation ever. No forgiveness ever. There is a debt they must pay.

Looking forward to the headline -"Racist America Dethrones Obama"

[Popman]

I wonder how the dem inside party type operators will use spin and demagoguery to try and get back the moderate male white vote for Obama which he needs to win.

They voted for him in 2008 so they can't justify it by ridding themselves of "white guilt"

Many are unemployed or underemployed to a large extent.

I guess the only thing left is outright election fraud and stuffed ballots

B. Hussein Obama:

crushed in a landslide of 10% unemployment, $4 gas, and $1.5 trillion deficits

alla ysalmak Baraq!

[FlingWingFlyer]

Unfortunately, it appears that the minorities plan to remain on the DNC’s plantation so the government can continue caring for them.

[AceMineral]

It’s always racism not to vote for the black man.

[scooby321]

I was talking to a man at church a few Sundays ago.

He is in his 70's and said race relations have never been this bad his adult life as Obama has made them today.

Disgruntled by the rookie Hussein's white half?

[Jim Scott]

This Pew Research poll will be predictably spun by the MSM as demonstrating that whites only oppose Barack Hussein Obama because he's black, which is a fatuous premise. The reality is that Obama's performance in office has been abysmal and whites are being hurt by his 'handling' of the economy. That, along with Obama's clear disdain for America, it's values and it's history, his apparent disconnect from the lives and aspirations of ordinary Americans and his unearned and repulsive arrogance all combine to make even the quasi-liberal American pull away from Obama. He simply doesn't make sense to anyone who pays attention to him. His presidency is a disaster and nobody likes a loser, which is exactly what Obama is turning out to be. Sure, conservatives knew it from Day One but now that the general public is waking up, party affiliation reflects that shift. It isn't racism, it's reality.

Not looking forward to the race riots when that happens.
