Default Poll: Louisianans say Bush did better on Katrina than Obama’s doing on the oil spill

Poll: Louisianans think Bush did better on Katrina than Obama’s doing on the oil spill

Devastating. Especially since it comes from left-leaning pollster PPP.

Our new Louisiana poll has a lot of data points to show how unhappy voters in the state are with Barack Obama’s handling of the oil spill but one perhaps sums it up better than anything else- a majority of voters there think George W. Bush did a better job with Katrina than Obama’s done dealing with the spill.

50% of voters in the state, even including 31% of Democrats, give Bush higher marks on that question compared to 35% who pick Obama.

Overall only 32% of Louisianans approve of how Obama has handled the spill to 62% who disapprove. 34% of those polled say they approved of how Bush dealt with Katrina to 58% who disapproved.
The big winner? Bobby Jindal, whose 63 percent approval (65 percent on handling the spill) is the highest for any senator or governor in PPP’s polling this year. He lost some of his righty rock-star luster after that SOTU disaster, but I think it’s safe to say that he’s gotten it all back: The latest is that he’s lost patience with BP’s containment efforts and given the order to the National Guard to start building a barrier wall off the coast to try to protect the shoreline. 70 percent, here he comes!

Democrats 60% approval of Obama
Blacks 90% approval of Obama
Blacks 20% of poll sample
Democrats make up 43%
Whites including White Dems approval of Obama 23%
Figure at most only 20% of Blacks are Republicans or Independents (more likely 10%, but we'll go with 20%) means that among non-black Democrats Obama's approval rating is about 44% (42% if we go with the 10% figure).

Good grief.

Why the huge racial discrepency between white and black Democrats? Black Dems are twice as likely to approve of Obama's performance than White Dems. Is one of the Groups basing their approval on race?

Is Sidewinder the new screenname of the late Regis Philbin? He's got the same obnoxious penchant for copypasta, but slightly more originality, so I can't be sure.


Never mind, found my answer. lol
