Poll: Less Than Half Of Republicans Believe Obama Was Born In U.S.
Less than half of Republicans believe that Barack Obama was born in the United States of America, a new public opinion poll finds.
Only 42 percent of Republican respondents in a Research 2000 survey said they thought Obama was a natural born citizen; 28 percent said they did not believe Obama was born in the United States; 30 percent said they were not sure.
The responses, which were gathere
More..d after several prominent conservative media personalities fed suspicion that Obama was unconstitutionally holding office, show the extent to which the conspiracy has taken hold in the GOP.
That only a plurality of Republicans were willing to acknowledge the president was born in America is nothing short of astounding, considering the preponderance of evidence that confirms his Hawaiian birth.
The conspiracy has a regional flavor. Overall, even including Democrats and independents, only 47 percent of respondents in the South said they believed Obama was born in America, with 23 percent saying he was not and 30 percent saying they were unsure. In the Northeast and Midwest, the percentage of respondents who believe Obama was born in the U.S. was over 90 percent.
Ninety-three percent of Democrats say the president was born in the United States, as do 83 percent of independents.
The Research 2000 findings were pulled together from a survey of 2,400 adults. Less..

I don't believe all the stories about Obama but I do doubt if his mother was sure who the father was.
Ever see the movie Omen.
I am more concerned with all the things Obama and Congress are trying to break in order to act like they can fix it. Like a child with Christmas presents.
Just like wasting time finding stuff on Sarah Palin, the birth certificate is nothing it is the damage to America that should be top priority.

Just show your birth cert and be done with it. Then show your shcool transcripts and be done with it. Sarah Palin's entire life and the life of her kids is fair game for a "public figure" but we can't dare ask for the annointed one's transcripts and medical records.

Now can you not think of better names to call me you must not have been a liberal long. When cornered by the truth call people names.
If it isn't broke don't fix it.
I can go anywhere in the US and use my Health Insurance my neighbor can go and get it done free because she is unemployed.
Your comment fits your comment.

Lame? Why, because it shows how many Republican's, probably like yourself have an extremely low IQ?

that makes sense...about half of all republicans are back woods, toothless rednecks that cant read, so the numbers sound pretty accurate.
