President Barack Obama may be swimming against the tide of public sentiment in ordering more troops to Afghanistan.

A new poll by the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press and the Council on Foreign Relations – results of which are set to be released Thursday — found that isolationist sentiment in the U.S. is at the highest level since the polling outfit and its predecessors began to measure such sentiment in 1964.

Andrew Kohut, president of the Pew Center, said the number of Americans who said the U.S. should go its own way and not worry about other countries was higher than during either the Vietnam or Iraq wars. He declined to divulge specific figures, but said a record number of people also said the U.S. should mind its own business and let other countries get on the best they can.

“We have these long-term measures showing the public looking more inward than they have for a very, very long period of time,” said Kohut. He cited two protracted wars and deep economic woes as factors behind the sentiment.

The Pew Center and the Gallup polling group have posed similar questions aimed at gauging isolationist sentiment every four years, in the first year of each presidential term, since Lyndon Johnson took the White House.

In addition, Obama is losing support among whites:

"Polls offer limited help. Obama's approval ratings have fallen in the November polls by Gallup and Public Policy Polling while Palin's have risen. At this rate, they might even meet somewhere in the high 40s, a Drudge Report headline trumpets.

But what's race got to do with that? Much of Obama's fall results from recent bad news on the employment and Afghanistan fronts and much of Palin's rise results from her highly touted book tour. Still, since almost all of Obama's decline has come from white voters, while his numbers among blacks and Hispanics have stayed virtually the same, many still ask how much the difference results from the issue of race." -Clarence Page/Chicago Tribune

The core principle of white nationalism is that whites, as an ethnic group, have political interests opposed to other groups and have as much right to act in those interests as any other group. This, of course is shouted down as racism, but as Page appears to be discovering, the race card isn't working like it used to -- and I do believe we have our President to thank for that.
