How bad does Obama have to screw up the country to really lose this demographic?
(CNSNews.com) – President Barack Obama’s job approval tied its all-time low among black Americans last week, according to the Gallup poll.

After that, Obama’s approval among black Americans had rebounded to as high as 91 percent in Gallup polling conducted the week of May 9-15 of this year.
As recently as the week of Jan. 10-16, Obama’s approval among blacks was at 94 percent in the Gallup poll.
President Obama’s highest ever weekly job approval among black Americans in Gallup polling was 96 percent, a level it reached in five different weeks of 2009, the last of which was the week of Aug. 3-9, 2009.
