THE MYTH OF OBAMA & THE WHITE VOTERS

The "liberal" media, FAUX News and the radio gasbags have been trying to push the narrative that Whites won't vote for Obama, usually because of the remarks by Pastor Wright. Thanx to Memeo, I found an article in the NYT that shows this narrative is mostly hot air:
The question is this: Have white Democrats soured on Obama? Apparently not. Although his unfavorable rating from the group is up five percentage points since last summer in polls conducted by The New York Times and CBS News, his favorable rating is up just as much.


Here's the graph provided with the article (click on for larger version):


We still don't know about how the Wright "scandal" has affected independent voters but from what I've read, there isn't much of an effect.
