At the request of Anonymous, I updated the map showing Senator Barack Obama's Support Among All Whites in Primary States. With this enhanced view it is clear that Obama's support among whites is much shallower than previously thought. Only in a handful of states (small population states such as Vermont and Utah and his home state of Illinois) does Obama have clear support among white voters. The reality is in places such as the South Obama's support is well below that needed to win. Should he get the nomination, Obama will need 40% of the white vote to win. He probably wouldn't win in Mississippi, South Carolina or Alabama anyway. But, in states such as Ohio, Pennsylvania and Florida, Obama's support among white voters is troubling.
