One in five Americans thinks Obama is Muslim

One in five Americans thinks Obama is Muslim: poll

Quote:
WASHINGTON — Nearly two years after Barack Obama’s election as U.S. president, a growing number of Americans misidentify his faith as Muslim, according to a new poll released Thursday.

Despite Mr. Obama’s attendance in church and his repeated public statements about his Christian faith, nearly one in five respondents on the survey said they believed he is a practitioner of Islam, while only 34% of Americans correctly identified him as a Christian, down sharply from a year earlier.

The poll was conducted by the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life.

Meanwhile, the percentage of people who say they are unsure what religion Obama practices has risen to 43%, from 34% a year ago.

The poll found one third of conservative Republicans believe Mr. Obama is a Muslim, a figure that has nearly doubled. But the president’s faith was incorrectly identified by rising numbers of Democrats and independents too.

Some 18% of independent voters thought Obama was Muslim, up eight percentage points, and fewer than half the president’s Democratic supporter believe him to be a Christian.

The Pew survey polled 3,003 respondents between July 21 and August 5, and had a plus-or-minus 2.5 percent sampling error.

The poll was taken before Mr. Obama waded into a bitter dispute last week over plans for a mosque and interfaith centers just blocks from the New York site of the September 11, 2001 attacks.

Mr. Obama said Friday that U.S. principles protecting freedom of religion should apply equally to all faiths, and that Muslims should be able to worship freely in the United States.

But a day later he added that his comments were not intended to pass judgement on the wisdom of building a mosque near Ground Zero.

Of those who said they believe Mr. Obama is Muslim, 60% said they had learned about his religion from the media.

But White House officials told the Washington Post that mistaken impressions about Obama’s faith were the result of “misinformation campaigns” being waged by his opponents.

“While the president has been diligent and personally committed to his own Christian faith, there’s certainly folks who are intent on spreading falsehoods about the president and his values and beliefs,” faith adviser Joshua DuBois said.

It's tough to be the prez, I think he's ok where he's at though and he knows that. I don't think he would want to be beloved by the whole country completely and whole heartedly like JFK and Abe Lincoln were and look what happened to them two cats.

Why don't people elect economist majors as presidents instead of law majors?

That's so true. On that same note, our beloved Prime Minister has an undergrad and masters degree in economics.

***
He is the first prime minister since Lester B. Pearson not to have attended law school.

It all depends on who is going to run against him ... looking at how fragmented the Republicans are and not having a clear leader among them, the only way he would lose a re-election would be if he really fucked something up ...

Palin... that bitch is so fucking dumb. It is not even funny, I mean she doesn't read any newspaper and book. The bitch said she has a lot of experience in foreign policy making because Alaska is close to Russia. I can't believe Americans actually listen what that bitch has to say.

Talk to an American about politics and they'll respond to you like they are uber-patriotic to USA. Ask them about anything specific in politics and they will not know a thing!!

Obviously a lot of people here don't actually know any Americans. Yes, there are some dumb people in the United States, just like there are in any country. Unfortunately, the dumbest are often the loudest as well.
