President ∅bama’s job approval is in free fall among those the Democrat Party depends on to win elections.
The president’s job approval averaged 41 percent last month, down 12 percentage points from his 53 percent approval last December. During that same time period, support for Obama among Hispanics dropped 23 percentage points — from 75 percent to 52 percent in November, Gallup reported Thursday.
And:
Other subgroups that experienced above average declines in approval for the president during that time period included low-income Americans (-18 percentage points), nonwhites (-17 percentage points), moderates and moderate Democrats (both with -16 percentage point declines), among others.
He still has majority support among those populations. But there are a lot of places where those kinds of drop offs spell doom for otherwise winning Democrat candidates. I’d say 2014 is shaping up to be another wave election similar to 2010. Only more so. But a lot can happen in 11 months. Don’t get cocky kids.
