With President Obama struggling through perhaps the lowest point of his presidency, one-in-four voters believes racism is the driving factor behind opposition to his policies. But similar to past polls, voters of different races strongly disagree.

Sixty percent (60%) of Likely U.S. Voters think people oppose the president’s policies primarily because they believe the policies are bad. A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey finds that 24% believe the opposition is due to racism. Ten percent (10%) think people oppose Obama’s policies for some other reason.
