Obama Weekly Job Approval by Demographic Groups per Gallup

[Jennicut]

His approval by liberal Dems....92% in the last few week.
Of course, its just polling data only from Gallup.
Conservative Rethugs...16%. To be expected.

1. 57% in the South.....

.... aint too shabby!

And you gotta love those numbers among the 20 somethings and African Americans. I can TESTIFY to the fact that if you say anything negative about Barack Obama within the walls of a predominantly African American church, you WILL get smacked in the MOUTH by your granny and her best friend.

I've SEEN it happen! lol ..... I'm not kidding, put their Bibles down and just smack you clear across the face! :)

2. LOL. I wish he was higher among thirtysomethings but Gen X always was confused...

I am from the Northeast, where he has always been high.

[lbrtbell]

12. Gen X'ers range into the mid-40's, like me

And no, we aren't any more confused than any other generation, before or since.

[Jennicut]

15. I am a Gen Xer, and it was a joke...my brother and I always say that

to each other. ;) I am 33 and he is 37. And we make fun of all the stuff about Gen X....like how we were slackers, confused, working McJobs etc.

3. And another thing that's interesting....

.... if you remove the identifiers of "ethnicity", party and those darned church goers (ha ha) which are naturally very polarizing stats. ..... his support is very even among other demographic variables. Where he has support, it transcends most of the ways in which we divide ourselves.

I think that's something he'd be proud of.

4. 92% approval by liberal dems.... the other 8% ALL post on DU

[Clio the Leo]

7. But a funny thing about polls.......

.... and by polls I mean here on DU, his support here is still very high. For example, if I made a poll that said "Do you approve of Barack Obama's job thus far?" you'd see that the overwhelming majority of those who answer are very happy.

The percentage of those who aren't happy is MUCH smaller than the percentage of negative OPs about him on any given day. As I always say, "loud" does not automatically equal "populous."

5. But the DU Purity Police keep on telling us that he's losing the

base. I mean, it's not a day that goes by without them telling us that their personal disapproval of Obama is evidence of his failure.

[Jennicut]

6. The base per Gallup is staying strong

[Cant trust em]

8. Purity police.

I like it. Pretty apt.

9. I pitty Republicans 20 years hence since Non-Whites will be the dominant race and ...

Democrats will tend to always be in power....I mean, like WOW look at those Black and Hispanic #'s...WOW! So repubz pLEASE keep shooting off those mouths about stupid hispanics...please!

[FrenchieCat]

10. I'm so fucking tired of the Corporate media heralding everytime Obama's numbers fall

even by 1 somewhere, till it ain't even funny.

Those assholes try soooo hard.

Hardball was all on it today! Ohio, Ohio, Ohio!

[Jennicut]

11. His approval in Ohio is near the amount he won it by..so he lost repub leaning indies.

[SemiCharmedQuark]

13. LOL...81 percent with Hispanics

But...but...I thought we Hispanics hated African Americans! :silly:

Keep up the attacks on Sotomayor, Repubs!
