Gallup notes that Barack Obama's current support with whites is considerably off his 2008 performance, dropping from 44% to 38%.
The table, via Gallup.
The poll also found that Obama has slipped from his 2008 performance with every white subgroup.
Here's the bloodbath.
a. 18-29 year olds: -9%
b. 30-49 year olds: -5%
c. 50-64 year olds: -6%
d. Seniors: -6%
e. Men: -7%
f. Women: -6%
g. Women, post-graduate: -9%
h. Women, non-post-graduate: -5%
i. Men, post-graduate: -5%
j. Men, non-post-graduate: -8%
k. Non-married men: -12%
l. Non-married women: -7%
m. Married men: -4%
n. Married women: -3%
0. Less than $24K/year: -9%
p. $24K-$60K/year: -9%
q. $60K-$90K: -3%
r. $90K or more: -3%
Obama has also lost ground with white Protestants, white Catholics, those with another religion (-12%), and those with no religion, at all (-10%).
That being said, Gallup does note a sliver of opportunity for Obama.
.... the decline among his core 2008 white supporters could make these the easiest groups of voters for him to win back -- something the Democratic Convention this summer and Obama's fall campaigning will no doubt strive to do.
