New York Governor David Paterson is the most unpopular governor in Empire State history, and the least popular governor in the nation. He is so despised that members of his own party are openly attacking him. But guess which demographic is still enthralled with SNL’s favorite punching bag:
Black voters approve 52 percent to 35 percent of the work Paterson is doing, while white voters disapprove 66 percent to 23 percent and Hispanics disapprove 54 percent to 33 percent, according to the poll of 2,477 registered voters between June 16 and Sunday.
“Gov. David Paterson’s job approval holds negative among every demographic group except his fellow black New Yorkers. The only good news is that, like the economy, Paterson may have hit bottom, with nowhere to go but up,†Maurice Carroll, director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute, said in a statement.

That’s the Blacks for you; all most of them care about is that the person in question is also Black – unless he’s perceived to have “sold out” to “Whitey.”
