ABCD
Washington - President Barack Obama's approval rating among white Americans has fallen as they have watched him wade into the racially tinged dispute between a white Cambridge, Mass., police officer and a well-known black Harvard scholar who is a friend of Obama. 41 percent disapproved Obama's handling, compared with 29 percent who approved. Obama's overall job approval was 54 percent, down from 61 percent in mid-June.
