President Obama's job approval rating averaged 88% among blacks and 38% among whites in July, a 50-percentage-point difference that has been consistent in recent months but is much larger than in the initial months of the Obama presidency. Obama's job approval ratings among blacks, whites, and Hispanics in July are all at their lowest levels to date, although the overwhelming majority of blacks still approve.White support in January of 2009 was 62%. It's now 38%. Hispanic support was at 74%. Now 54%. Interestingly, black support in January of 2009 was 88%, right where it is today, but for a time it had climbed to 94%. You average Dem congressman can usually count on 95% support from black voters, but Obama has fallen well short of that.
