Serious Question

We all watch the same television, so why does the South have such dramatically different opinions about Barack Obama from the rest of the country? Seriously. I’m not asking this to pick on the South or because I expect an answer that denigrates southerners. I just want to know, what are the issues that are driving down Obama’s approval ratings in the South, when the Northeast is giving him a 87% thumbs-up?
