A new Allstate/National Journal Heartland Monitor Poll details President Obama's slippage with white voters.
He's fallen to 42% of the college-educated white women, 37% among the college-plus white men, just 34% among the non-college white men.
Looking at whites by age underlines the picture of broad-based weakness.
His numbers are lowest with whites in the prime working years: just 29% of whites (age) 30-44, and 35 % of whites (age) 45-64 say they approve of his performance.
Among all whites, now just 35% approve of his performance and 58% disapprove.
That's virtually identical to the results in the 2010 congressional election, when whites gave 60% of their votes to Republicans and just 37% to Democrats, according to the National Election Pool exit poll conducted by Edison Research.
In eight Heartland Monitor polls since January 2010, Obama's approval rating among whites has exceeded 40% just once.
