The coalition that granted President Obama a second term in office is now non-existent. While among the general public, 12 percent are now disappointed by the President’s conduct over the past year, among Hispanics – the Democrats greatest asset – the disappointment of President Obama resulted in a whopping 23 points drop of support, from 75 percent in 2012 to 52 percent in November, according to a new Gallup Poll.
“It is…a troubling sign for the Democratic Party, given that Hispanics represent an increasingly important segment of the electorate,” the Gallup report said. “That means their views of him are less firmly anchored than those of other groups, which may help explain why their opinions of the president soured more than any other group’s in recent months.”
In Gallup’s poll, all major subgroups showed at least some decline over the past year in their views of the way Obama is handling his job as president.
The subgroups showing the smallest changes are those that are generally least approving of Obama, and thus had less room to drop — conservatives who identify with or lean toward the Republican Party (from 7% to 5%), self-identified Republicans (from 11% to 8%), and self-identified conservatives of any party affiliation (from 26% to 20%).

What difference does it make? These fools already elected and re-elected him, practically worshipping him in the process. Now that reality is smacking some of them in the face, they will learn so much from it that they will elect another left-ing radical like Hillary or worse.
