11/25/14, "Obama Approval Drops Among Working-Class Whites," Gallup, Frank Newport. Survey from 2009-Oct. 2014.
"About two-thirds of adult whites have not graduated from college, making working-class whites a particularly important group politically because of its sheer size....
Many discussions and strategy sessions have focused on the complex set of attitudes and life positions which, as evidenced by these data, have pushed this group further from the Democratic president over the past six years....These discussions will continue as the 2016 election campaigns ramp up in the coming two years."...
Obama's job approval ratings so far this year are "84% among blacks, 64% among Asians, 53% among Hispanics and 32% among whites."...
"Survey Methods"
"Results for this Gallup poll are based on telephone interviews conducted on the Gallup U.S. Daily survey from 2009 through October 2014, with random samples of approximately 355,000 adults, aged 18 and older, living in all 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia for each of the 2009-2012 yearly samples; approximately 175,000 adults for 2013; and 149,150 adults for January-October 2014. For results based on the total sample of national adults in each yearly average, the margin of sampling error is ±1 percentage point at the 95% confidence level.
Each sample of national adults includes a minimum quota of 50% cellphone respondents and 50% landline respondents, with additional minimum quotas by time zone within region. Landline and cellular telephone numbers are selected using random-digit-dial methods."
