USA General Elections 2012: Obama Losing Support of Black Voters, Polls Say Yes and No

Is President Obama losing ground among black voters? A recent Pew Research poll says no.

The Pew Research poll showed 90 percent of black voters would vote for Obama if the election were held today.

This doesn't necessarily mean that blacks vote for Obama "just because he's black," especially Angela Collins.

Collins, a mother of six, is a hairdresser in Los Angeles. CNN interviewed Collins, who said business is down and her family is now living at the bare minimum.

"The last four years for me, have been difficult. They've been hard," Collins said.

Activist and author Earl Ofari Hutchinson said Obama didn't deliver, which is why many blacks are disappointed.

"If you don't deliver, I mean immediately deliver because expectations are not something that just stretch out over time, they want immediate results. They want to see immediate action. They want to see something visual and tangible. If that's not the case, then I have to tell you, at that point, disappoint beings to set in; resolution begins to set in. oftentimes, doubts begin to set in," Hutchinson said.

He said Obama should come to communities "that rally against all odds," meaning black communities.

"I think he could have done more of than done should have done more of that. That builds up the personal and human connect. Not just coming, for example, to L.A. for a big fundraiser and raising money. Take a little detour. It's OK come over and talk to a small business person and listen to them."

Actress Stacy Dash, who is black, entered a firestorm last week when she tweeted that she would support Obama. She was called "traitor," "jiggaboo" and "house nigger," on the social website, according to the Seattle Times.

Critics say this was because she chose a white candidate over a black one.

WRAL says black support for Obama is falling in North Carolina. A news poll from October 2008 showed 92 percent of black North Carolina voters supported Obama while only 3 percent supported John McCain. The same question was asked this month--his time showing 87 percent support for Obama and 12 percent for Romney.

This juxtaposition of support shows that yes, some blacks are disappointed in Obama because he brought such hope to the American people, but most blacks still strongly favor him.
