Washington, Aug 28 (ANI): US President Barack Obama has lost ground with white voters, women, liberals and younger voters, the AP-GfK data has revealed.
Only 36 percent of white voters approve of the job he is doing, while 59 percent say he should lose in November 2012. That figure is down from 56 percent after his first three months in office, and he is upside-down with this group in every region except the Northeast, Politico reports.
Three in ten white independents say he should get a second term, and 41 percent of them say he "understands the problems of people like them," while liberals who say Obama is "very well" described as a "strong leader" went from 53 percent to 29 percent.
Women, who had fueled a gender gap for the president with 68 percent approving of his performance after his first three months in office, are also moving away from him. Now, 50 percent of women say he should be re-elected, and less than half of all women approve of how he's doing in office.he numbers will obviously shift as a general election begins, and younger voters and liberals are especially likely to move back toward him. But the former two are, depending on the GOP nominee, a bit of a tougher push.(ANI)
