More trouble for Obama, dems—white voters leave Amid jobless double dip recession, more voters turn away from democrat party

WASHINGTON, DC—A new Washington Post poll shows that white voters have begun a mass exodus from President Obama and the democrats by extension. According to the poll, white voter support has gone from north of 60 percent to just over 40 percent, the twenty-plus point drop occurring just four months prior to the November midterms and 79 percent of the 2006 midterm voters were whites.  2008’s presidential election was comprised of 74 percent of white voters as well.

That spells trouble with a capital “T” for the democrat majority in November, when voter turnout is already lower than on-year elections; the democrat’s strategy is to spend ten of millions of dollars to bolster turn out, a model borrowed from the stimulus package to create jobs (which cost approximately $700,000 per job created).

A democrat operative that tracks House races said of the erosion, "Since in the past House elections white voters tended to represent the independent vote, [the midterms] will surely be devastating for Democrats running in an election that will be a referendum on the Obama agenda."

White voters, along with independents and moderate democrats have been fleeing the Obama scene for weeks on end now, with the economy continuing to struggle, the jobless rate remaining high, the disaster in the Gulf, global economic decline, unchecked illegal immigration, and Afghanistan faltering, its no wonder polls are showing such attrition.
