Obama ‘core’ coalition hardly ‘shattered’
NBC: While some think President Obama’s “core” coalition “has been shattered,” here are some numbers from our latest NBC News-Wall Street Journal poll that looks at Obama’s approval among some of those “core” groups:
– Blacks: 90% approve/6% disapprove
– Democrats: 82/12
– Liberals: 79/16
– Latinos: 56/33
– Post grads: 56/41
– 18-29: 53/38
– Women: 52/43
…….As Republican pollster Bill McInturff, who conducts the NBC/WSJ poll with Democratic pollster Peter D. Hart, said after the poll, “It’s a reminder again … for a guy who took a shellacking, he’s got a pretty strong core pulse.” He cited Obama’s strong support among a core constituency of younger women, blacks, Latinos, young voters, voters in the West, and under-30 urban moderates. “This is a president that retains political standing,” he added.
I love this picture – one of my favourites. Especially, the little tiny boy in the front row – his face is priceless. And the pride on the black man’s face with his arm outstretched is almost painful.
That little boy sure is adorable!
WHAT AWESOME JOURNEY WE ALL ARE ON!!!! WE MUST CONTINUE TO HAVE #44 BACK…HIS FIGHT IS OUR FIGHT!!!
