Post-Racial President: 39% of Whites Approve – 91% of Blacks Approve
Posted by Jim Hoft on Wednesday, November 25, 2009, 6:22 AM
It might be time for another beer summit.
The post-racial president has now done more to divide the races than any president before him. Only 39% of whites approve of the radical in the White House while 91% of blacks approve of his administration.
Gallup reported:
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.

And here is the end result of Marxism…class and racial division leading to chaos, conflict and economic armageddon.

Typo in the title Jim. Says ’39% disapprove’ instead of ‘approve’

Yes We Did commented:
What a surprise! Racist white males hate our President! Who would have guessed?
Well guess what, racists, it doesn’t matter.
Your time has passed. President Obama rules this country now. Just shut up and go away.
Dell commented:
To me, it doesn’t matter. I dislike the politics of his Caucasian side AND his Black side. I didn’t vote for or against his race. I voted against his politics of Socialism. The fact that many voted, based almost exclusively on race, speaks volumes about who’s racist in this country.
I just want to know where all the “Obama-Biden” bumper stickers went. Last November I saw thousands of them. Today, you have to look very hard to find one.
One term will be one term too many.

You remark simply takes the cake. Do you honestly think, or perhaps hope, that Obama actually “rules” America? In this country the people still rule and he is finished, at least until he finishes his Marxist takeover — which we are not going to allow.
IOpian commented:
Well it also looks like 91% of racist blacks approve.
John Steele commented:
It is certainly is nice to see how Obama, the post-racial president, has managed to firmly divide America firmly along racial lines.

All part of the plan for the destruction of America; Alinsky would be so proud of his protege.
Otter commented:
When it all comes down to a crashing end in 2012, ‘yes we did,’ we’ll be able to point back and say ‘yes you did jack-s**t’
Midwestengr commented:
That comment from Yes We Did is so blatantly stupid, I don’t even know what to say. Is it me, or are the obots this dumb?
Old One commented:
“Tis iIntriguing how Gallup avoids telling us how much Obozo’s popularity has cratered among Hispanics and Asians. When Gallup avoids revealing to us the approval numbers among Hispanics in such a coy manner we know how bad The Won’s approval numbers are among minority groups other than Blacks are falling.
If Chairman Zero, ACORN, and his government employee SEIU thugs can not stuff enough ballot boxes, rig a substantial percentage of voting machines, and the Black Panthers fail to frighten away large numbers of non-Black voters from polling places in democorrupt machine cities the Marxist-in-Chief and the congressional demonazi shocktroops led by Botox Swastickah are toast in 2010 & 2012.
No Man commented:
No Man can brand an entire people as racist just b/c 91% of them are racist fools.
What a freaking surprise! Racist blacks love their half-white, commie president! Who would have thunk?
No. That’s not racism. They love him because he’s gon’na take from the crackers and give to them. Don’t matter that 25% of blacks are out of work. Yeah! You people gotta love Obama! And, it’s not racism becuz . . . he gonna provide for us.
Well, guess what black racists, it doesn’t matter. With your commie president’s policies of mass fiscal destruction there will be nothing left for you racist tools.
No Man commented:
PS: No Man thinks McCain would not have been too much better. Except he wouldn’t destroy the private sector and our way of life.
crystal commented:
I don’t approve.
crystal commented:
No Man,
Include in your synposis the slave vote that balck people give to democrats. I ahve said it before, and I’ll say it again here…I have asked many friends, and family members why they continue to vote for the party that has destroyed black families…crickets and tumbleweeds….
Lorenzo commented:
It’s naive to deny that many Americans hate the idea of a black president, and will do anything short of lynching to get rid of him. Maybe that explains the brainless conspiracy dementia that fills Gateay’s comment pages.
befuddled commented:
minorities are the hardest hit by unemployment. for blacks, some are throwing around 35%. Even after katrina, blacks still banded around the “chocolate” mayor. a lot of of urban cities and liberal states vote in the same black mayor or irresponsible fiscal policies, as long as that person has a “d” by their name. this tribal politics has to stop. even worst are these bleeding heart liberals that want to feed,clothe,shelter,provide healthcare for illegals and the poor and protect the environment. liberals love an exit strategy for every war we’ve been in since vietnam. how about stopping for a second and come up with an exit strategy for making people more self sufficient and less reliant on handouts?
down with dems commented:
The media can scream RACIST at white people and Republicans and conservatives all they want, but the true measure of racism is Obama’s black approval rating. No white president has ever had a 90%-93% approval rating among whites. Blacks love him because he’s (half) black and he promises them free money and free healthcare and “social justice”, paid for by taking from the productive members of society and redistributing it to “level the playing field”.
down with dems commented:
Racism is not just a negative view toward someone, it can also be a positive view. If you favor someone because of their race, you’re as much a racist as if you dislike them for their race.
Ruth commented:
I thought racism in America was only found in obscure ignorant corners of our country and that the majority of Americans view people for their values and actions instead of their race (honoring the inherent dignity of each person).
It’s how I was raised.
Our president has revived evil racism, taken it out of the hidden corners where it should be eliminated, and put it as a shield to defend his actions.
Hiding policy behind racism so no logical debate can take place is cowardly and eliminates free speech and debate. God save our country.
befuddled commented:
if i vote for obama i don’t have to worry about my mortgage or car payments… please somebody go back and find this lady and find out how that hope and change is working out for her.
after 2010, the government will provide one way tickets and citizenship to social paradise cuba or venezuela for those disenchanted by the slow pace of hope and change. for those michael moore or sean penn types, of course, all your wealth amassed while in this evil empire will be entirely confiscated and given back to the state before your departure. we don’t want to overburden your new countries with undo paperwork.
crystal commented:
If the majority of Americans were so racist and hate-filled that the mere thought of a half-black man being president made them puke, then Obama would not have won the election.
No one is denying that racism does not exist. Racism exists among every ethnic group and race. However, to shout “racism” at every turn, as pertaining to Obama, has effectively diminshed any real racism. Kenneth Gladney.
In my personal experience, I believe that those on the left are the REAL racists. And as a black living in OKLAHOMA, I think I am qualified to say so.
I didn’t vote for Obama, but I did not expect him to embrace racial divisivness, and identity politics as blatantly as he has. He revels in the dissention. It’s his trump card, and both races, on both sides, are tripping over thier feet falling for that garbage.
How has anything Obama, or the democrats done helped the (overall) black community in any significant way? That’s not really a rhetorical question…if anyone has any examples, I am open to hearing them.
gus commented:
Lorenzo you ignorant LIBTARD.
The data clearly indicates to anyone with an i.q. over 60 that blacks like Obama because he is part black.
There could be no clearer definition of racism than approving of someone because of his race.
Lorenzo crawl back under your rock.
If you care to defend your moronic tripe, I’m game.
mwTexas commented:
Yes, 91% don’t want to bite the hand the feeds them the bullsh$$t they’ve been blindly eating since the Dems decided to make them victims in their own minds.
Thank God for the other 9% that can see the carrot at the end of the stick will never be reached.
crystal commented:
Gus, my friend. How are you?
hoss commented:
Obama isn’t Black. He’s African. Michelle is Black. Obama doesn’t know what it means to be a Black American.
eaglewingz08 commented:
Let’s see, 90 percent of african americans believed OJ didn’t murder Nicole Simpson and Ron Goldstein and 91 percent of african americans don’t believe Obama is murdering the US economy and foreign policy. Yep, sounds about right.
gus commented:
Hey Crystal!! I miss you!!
Dick Turpin commented:
RRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAACCCCCCCIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSSSSTTTTTTTTTTTTSSSSSSSSSSS!
Only 91% of blacks? I am shocked. That’s pretty low even for this loser.
Chip Bennett commented:
@Lorenzo:
Define “many”, otherwise your statement lacks context and is therefore meaningless.
What of the 60 MILLION people who voted for Obama?
What are these “short-of-lynching” actions to which your imagined racists are resorting, in order to “get rid of” Obama?
Strange. We on the right are talking about issues and how to defeat the socialist agenda of the left, and you’re on here pondering about non-existent lynching.
Come to think of it: I like your strategy. Do, please, keep it up – on through 2010 and 2012.
Nice try – an attempt at a subtle conflation of your imagined racism with GP commenters.
No matter how many times we tell you that we couldn’t care less about Obama’s skin color – that we are concerned with his extreme leftwing, socialist agenda – you just keep projecting your own racism on us.
Again: please, keep it up.
Mad Monica commented:
Man, I’m so glad we got past that whole racism thing… wait… nevermind…
G commented:
“That comment from Yes We Did is so blatantly stupid, I don’t even know what to say. Is it me, or are the obots this dumb?”
Yes they’re that dumb. Just take a look at Lorenzo #20 comment, and you’ll see.
crystal commented:
Hey you guys, give Yes We Did a break. As long as I have been visiting Gateway Pundit (almost a year now), he has always been a No-Frills Troll. I have come to appreciate the crap he drops, because he then he leaves. No more than that…a real troll’s troll. Other trolls could stand to learn much from him.
Chip Bennett commented:
P.S. Jim, your link to Black Five appears to be incorrect.
Here’s the correct link.
Chip Bennett commented:
Oops; ignore that last comment. Wrong thread.
squeaky commented:
i can understand voting for obama based on a
feeling that it would be historic, etc. but the
lack of willingness to look at him objectively is
something else. people voted for obama for
different reasons and one by one these reasons
are proving to be as empty as his resume. it’s
still a dangerous world and like it or not we’re
still part of the food chain.
G commented:
crystal #38, never as good as old Lou B.M. the concern troll…..At least he was good fun.
Chip Bennett commented:
@Crystal:
True, but I will no longer sit by while we are continually leveled with charge after specious charge of racism. It is beyond tiresome.
Yes We Did is just a twit, spouting nonsense:
What this moron troll (…but I repeat myself) seems to forget is that white males elected Obama.
Further, the poll results cited in no way whatsoever speak to racism on behalf of “white males”; if anything, they reveal the inherent racism of a demographic that supports the president at a level of 90% or greater – for no reason other than his skin color.
Rather ironic (and arrogant) for a racist to be calling anyone else a racist, isn’t it?
Our time for what? Remember, you idiot, that you are talking to the people of the party that ended slavery and implemented civil rights – and that, against the wishes of the party that you blindly support.
Obama rules nothing. No president rules the country. What kind of fool are you, to think this way?
Sorry, but my First Amendment trumps your invective.
How kind of you, though, to epitomize the two fondational tools of liberal argumentation: cry “Racist!” and tell your opponent to “shut up.”
You keep classy, Obamatron Troll.
crystal commented:
Chip,
I have been saying all along that the only way this will cease is when white people refused to be intimidated into silence.
I have to tell people that I work with that it’s okay to call me “black”!!!
I was just merely pointing out that YWD is a caricature…and he/she knows it. All in good fun.
Chip–Fight the power!!:-)
G—True. Although we now know who Lou B.M really was, I still miss the character:-)
gary gulrud commented:
It is now patently clear to the majority of Americans, as it is Amerikkkans, that Oblabla is a one-term failure.
To the sub-group above, it isn’t simply that he’s failed, he’s failed his refounding of America by sabotage, subterfuge and theft.
It is by no means certain that he will win nomination in 2012. Only Chicago style thuggery can gain him that ‘honor’.
We could see a three or four way contest among relative equals.
gus commented:
Yes Obama made history.
So would a one legged Norwegian with epilepsy.
Obama was elected by virtue of dishonesty and race. Add to that the MSM and it’s LIBTARD hard-on and you have a recipe for a completely incompetent boob being elected and he was.
iconoclast commented:
Don’t complain too much about Obama. Just imagine how much he could have accomplished were he actually competent at anything other than repeating from the teleprompter and wondering about his own awesomeness.
Let the Chump in Chief finish destroying the libtard Democrats some more while validating every classic liberal (now called conservative for some odd reason) political and economic position.
CDR M commented:
It does not matter what race or whatever supported Obama in the election. What does matter is that he made many promises to those he needed votes from that he has no intention of fulfilling. Those people expected a middle of the road President and instead have someone who is veering hard left. I suspect that even support among blacks will start to fall as unemployment continues to hammer them and the promised handouts from Obama do not materialize.

Speaking of brainless conspiracy theories, lorenzo, perhaps you’d better take a look at dkos, DU and huffpo. You salad tossers sure seem to be big on conspiracies of all sorts. You assclowns just love to play the victim, don’t you?
Obot salad tossers; born stupid and going downhill ever since.
Ventura commented:
This doesn’t surprise me in the least. I work with many blacks that voted for Obama only because he was black and for no other reason. If that doesn’t spell racism then I don’t know what does.
To those BIGOTS it was all about color. This country will never move forward until these morons can learn to think, decide, and evaluate a suitable candidate on the basis of more than his skin tone.
MLK would be doing flips in his grave to see such blatant ignorance on display by these blacks today. If not the for Republican party in the 60′s these people still wouldn’t have the right to vote.
Google AL Gore Sr and William Fulbright and see who the bigots were back then, too.
Judith commented:
Say it over and over again, but these dumbtards do not believe Repubs freed the slaves and passed civil rights over Dems objections. i.e. Robert Byrd and Orville Faubus. The do not read nor do they comprehend; it is just useless to try to point to the record. All you get is name calling. They are the “look in the mirror” people.
