Similarly, whites' support for Obama is six points lower than it was in October/November 2008 (38% vs. 44%),
and blacks' is down four points (87% vs. 91%).
At the same time, Hispanics' support, at 67%, is essentially unchanged.
Obama's White Base Shows Cracks Compared With 2008
That math works out this way then if the same 131 million vote in 2012
For Obama:
38% of 99.9 million white voters is 37.98 million
87% of 15.8 million blacks is 13.7 million
67% of 9.6 million Hispanics is 6.5 million
2.5% of Asian 2008 voters not sure or 3.275 million.
So if add all Asians to above Obama total 61.54 million for obama or 47.79%
But if you add all asians to below Romney vote total is 70.50 million or 54.7%
Based on above polling data 38% for Obama in 2012 leaves
67.2 million or 53% of 99.9 million white voters for Romney
2.0 million or 87% of 15.8 million black voters for Romney
3.1 million or 67% of 6.5 million hispanic voters for Romney.
Romney therefore in 2012 election with 70.5 million or 54.7%
Obama with 61.5 million or 47.7%
Clearly Romney the winner based on 6/12/2012 voter polling.
AND HOPEFULLY NO violent outbursts or major civil disobedience to the public's will!
