Blacks happier with U.S. under Obama
Satisfaction about the country's direction also rose among white respondents, but at a smaller percentage, the results showed.
Forty-seven percent of blacks said they were satisfied with the way things are going in the country, compared with 10 percent in mid-2008 in the waning months of George W. Bush's presidency, the Princeton, N.J., polling agency said.
Satisfaction was low among Republicans during Bush's second term as well, although it was higher than among Democrats or independents. With Obama as president, Republican satisfaction is at 10 percent, Gallup said.
The latest results includes an oversample of blacks to prove a reliable basis for estimating the views of this segment.
Results are based on nationwide telephone interviews with 1,521 national adults Oct. 16-19, including an oversample of 408 blacks. The margin of error for the overall sample is 3 percentage points.

It isn't that Obama is half black that makes me dislike him, it is his policies that have desended down on his head. The American people don't want the governmernt running healthcare. The taxes and fines on this will send use to the poor house in no time. And what about the Cap and trede that is coming up soon. The man is taking us down a road I don't want to go. I sure don't want to be part of the New World Order he is planning to sign in Dec. in Copenhegen. He is trying to kill the USA and make us into a socialist country. With the governmernt owning 50% of all business that is what it boils down to.

An oversample of blacks? That sounds like you just keep asking the question until you get the answers you want.
