If Barack Obama loses on November 6, it will be because of a self- inflicted wound that has brought about an erosion of confidence and support for him among his African-American base. The slide in Obama’s support within his most solid bloc of voters began in May after he announced his support for gay “marriage.”African-American clergy immediately began to demand a clarification of Obama’s latest evolution on the question of same sex marriages. The ministers really only wanted a meeting and a plausible “party line” to sell to their congregations, but they were ignored. They were then humiliated as they had to watch gay community leaders meet with Obama in the White House (some were photographed flipping the bird to a picture of Ronald Reagan).
A Public Policy Polling survey of North Carolina voters in mid-May gave the first indication of the problems Obama had bought for himself when he shunned the black clergy for a few million dollars from the gay community. It found that 20% of North Carolina’s African-American voters intended to vote for Mitt Romney. A few days later, a Gallup survey of Georgia voters found the same 20% of blacks intending to vote for Romney.
During July, a group calling itself the Coalition of African American Pastors (CAAP) again demanded a meeting with Obama, and they too were ignored. CAAP then went to work to destroy Barack Obama; and by all indications, they are succeeding.
In late August, a Mitchell Research & Communications survey of Michigan found that 26% of black Michiganders declared that they were going to vote for Romney. Mitchell reported a drop in Obama’s support among Michigan’s black voters from 92/5 to 73/26 in a ten day period. CAAP’s efforts were taking hold.
Two days ago, a SurveyUSA poll of Ohio voters found that 22% of black likely voters they spoke with intended to vote for Mitt Romney.
Skeptics can say what they will, but the facts remain the same. CAAP is eating into Obama’s African-American support and doing so very effectively.

This is very good news. Thank you Western Journalism for reporting this truth. Our lying lamestream media won’t tell the truth. By rights Obama should lose 22% of the black vote. They should have known better to support him in the first place. This is the truth from the Black Republican PAC: Under obama’s presidency blacks are suffering the most. “The unemployment in the black community is at 14%; among black teenagers it’s 41%. Blacks have lost 53% of their wealth under Obama.”
Let’s hope they’re right!!!! It’s time they figured him out!!!
His fault , nobody else’s. He brought our great nation into another direction that we have gradually lost our dreams to live peacefully, financially and morally. Very regretting that we have not properly vetted him before sending to the highest position in the land. His time is done..and this time, we need a true leader. Romney2012
Obviously- ignorance CAN be educated…this is why i’ve ALWAYS hated the word ‘Stupid’. Growing up in Alabama- I have been called both, but when you are ‘enlightened’ by the truth- you feel a STRONGER need to share it, you can be PROUD. GOD BLESS our new BROTHERS !!! (and don’t let the Left’s habit of name-calling deter you- cause they WILL call you names, I’ll guarantee it)
how sad that the first black president may be the one that breaks the progressives hold on the black vote. Not surprising though. Blacks invented jiving and know when they are being jived!
They wanted a “black man” for president.They never cared what KIND of man he was ,as long as he was “black”.A lot of them still don’t care what KIND of man he is because they’ll still vote for the “black”.Allen West is black,but he is an American loving, God fearing,straight,morally efficient black man with priciples.You racist have helped destroy this country with your blindness,I pray we don’t all have to suffer because of your foolish,selfish,”gotta get back at whitey any way we can” mentality.
“Runaway, Slave!!” Rev. C. L. Bryant’s movie is taking hold! When African Americans en masse free themselves from the Democrat plantation it will be the greatest boon for their civil rights since MLK Jr.
I suspect that number will be even higher when those who ACTUALLY do vote turn out. Enthusisam for ‘berry’ is falling like a rock in ALL of his former ‘support’ groups. If you are living it…you don’t need a poll to tell you how bad it really is. Only those inflamed with hatred or just plain stone dead stupid would continue to support someone this inept.
Now that the ‘issue’ of non-support for those in Bengazi is coming to light…only votes already cast will even be an issue. ‘The bottom line is that they LIED to the American People and to the whole World…Americans DIED waiting for support that never came!!
I have read that there are some black ministers who are not going to tell their congregations to vote for Romney but to stay home on election day. The freeloaders, both white and black, will still flock to the polls to vote for the one they believe will keep those welfare checks and food stamps coming.
