<H1>Obama's Approval Slide Finds Whites Down to 39%</H1> <H2>Support has declined much more among whites than among nonwhites</H2> by Jeffrey M. Jones

PRINCETON, NJ -- Since the start of his presidency, U.S. President Barack Obama's approval rating has declined more among non-Hispanic whites than among nonwhites, and now, fewer than 4 in 10 whites approve of the job Obama is doing as president.



Obama last week fell below 50% approval in Gallup Daily tracking for the first time in his presidency, both in daily three-day rolling averages and in Gallup Daily tracking results aggregated weekly.
<BLOCKQUOTE class=pullquote1>"The only subgroup showing a greater change than whites is Republicans, down 24 points since Obama's first full week in office."</BLOCKQUOTE>
In his first full week in office (Jan. 26-Feb. 1), an average of 66% of Americans approved of the job Obama was doing, including 61% of non-Hispanic whites and 80% of nonwhites. In the most recent week, spanning Nov. 16-22 interviewing, his approval rating averaged 49% overall, 39% among whites, and 73% among nonwhites. Thus, since the beginning of his presidency, his support has dropped 22 points among whites, compared with a 7-point loss among nonwhites.

Given the 17-point drop in his approval rating among all U.S. adults, it follows that Obama's support has declined among all major demographic and attitudinal subgroups, with one notable exception -- blacks.

Blacks' support for Obama has averaged 93% during his time in office, and has been at or above 90% nearly every week during his presidency. Thus, part of the reason Obama's support among nonwhites has not dropped as much as his support among other groups is because of his consistent support from blacks. (With Hispanics' approval rating down five points, greater declines among Asians, Native Americans, and those of mixed races account for his total seven-point drop among nonwhites.)

The accompanying table shows how Obama's approval rating has changed by subgroup from his first full week in office to the most recent week. The only subgroup showing a greater change than whites is Republicans, down 24 points during this time. Independents' approval of Obama has declined nearly as much (down 18 points), whereas support among Democrats is down only 6 points.

Obama's strongest support comes from blacks, Democrats, and liberals -- all of whom give him approval ratings above 80%. He maintains solid support of more than 60% from nonwhites, Hispanics, and young adults.

agreed....must also be the 90+% of all blacks are racist...agreed?

Whatever cracker...

have you figured out yet that people questioned were allowed to voice support for more than one candidate

they werent asking them who they would vote for in a primary

all of this is assuming this is a real poll....but I have seen ones like this before

Probably so.

well, at least the actual topic of the op made it almost halfway down the page before being diverted. "we can NOT focus on his popularity, we have to make this about Palin damn it! that will throw them off and they wont recover!" "lets do it!" "yes!" (high fives all around.)

the topic would have had a longer shelf life if OP just simply stated some Obama poll #s....instead he decided to do that while he parodied the fact that we must be racist to not love our President

i loved it myself

meh...black people just don't watch the news.

I would sooooo get that and slap it on Poopy's car one night.

what about pointing out that an extremely higher percentage of blacks/hispanics are permanent democrats? almost all of them just voted for this guy so they're not gonna sell out on him immediately. the approval rating factors in those who didn't vote for him, but also didn't necessarily disapprove of him right away, but now that he's actually making decisions and people have some information to base their approval on its going down. besides, hispanics/blacks dont care if theres a $300 trillion tax bill, their cellar dwellar tax bracket wont go up and they'll be the ones receiving health care without contributing to it at all. +1 to myself for using a racist comment in a post claiming racism isnt the main factor.

So what you are saying is people disapproving of him solely based on his race is wrong, but people approving of him based solely on his race is OK?

FWIW IMO the people who disapprove of him are doing so based on his policies.

I'm not saying that. I think disapproving of Obama only based on his race is just as wrong as approving of him based only on his race. I think most white people are not racists, but I think that the race card is the easy play for MP and supporters of Obama to explain his declining approval numbers.

I'm giddy for the day when the good ol' USA is 100% non-hispanic White Christians, just like it should be.

lol link to where i blamed race on his declining numbers?

how can that even happen? someone approves 4 months ago, but now doesn't, based on race? did they get a visit from david duke?

I would agree that blindly supporting/hating/bashing anyone based solely on race is just plain ignorance.
