What explains this gigantic gulf between approval for Obama among whites vs African Americans... he was supposed to be the Uniter, what went wrong?
This racial gulf data is for PA, it likely mimics US national data.
Obama’s Approval Rating Hits Record Low
President Obama’s approval rating among Pennsylvania voters has dipped to a record low of 38%, according to a recent PPP poll (http://www.publicpolicypolling.com/pdf/2015/PPP_Release_PA_52715.pdf). At 54%, his disapproval rating is also the highest it has ever been in the Keystone state.
The survey, released Wednesday, shows a growing gap in the president’s perception among black and white voters. African Americans are three times as likely as white voters to approve of the president’s performance: 92% of African American voters polled approved of his performance, while only 8% disapproved. By contrast, only 31% of the whites polled cast favorable votes, and 61% disapproved. Among voters identifying as “other” races, Obama’s ratings stand at 31% approval, 58% disapproval.
