Research 2000 7/27-30. All adults. MoE 2% (No trend lines)

Do you believe that Barack Obama was born in the United States of
America or not?

Yes 77
No 11
Not sure 12

So 11 percent of Americans are Obama-hating conspiracy theorists. How do
they break down?

Yes No Not sure
Dem 93 4 3
Rep 42 28 30
Ind 83 8 9

Northeast 93 4 3
South 47 23 30
Midwest 90 6 4
West 87 7 6

Once again, Republicans find themselves outside the American mainstream.
And reality.


Whew! Almost a majority of southern white Republicans are not really
stupid. But 53% are.
