Southerners, Republicans most doubt Obama’s citizenship

Birther MovementIn hardly shocking news, a Daily Kos/Research 2000 poll revealed that Southerners and Republicans buy into the birther nonsense more than anybody else. The poll asked a simple question “Do you believe Barack Obama was born in the United States or not?”

First by region. Note how Southerners are half as likely to believe Barack Obama is a citizen, while at least three times as likely to believe he is a foreigner, or they simply don’t have a clue.

Next by party affiliation. No real surprises here.

Birthers by Party

It seems that while perceived as a fringe movement from the outside, among Southerners, and by-and-large most Republicans, the birther movement is practically mainstream.

The poll did ask one other interesting question barely covered in the media reports. The question was “Do you believe that Africa and America were once a part of the same continent?” The results are shall we say, interesting…

Where America and Africa once the same continent?
Any guesses as to why whites are so out-of-sync on this question? Anyone? Anyone?

    His mother was an underage whore, the sperm doner was maybe a Kenyan, we arn’t really sure who the doner was.

    Barry is at best a naturalized citizen (if born in Hawaii) but most likely an illegal allien (if born in Kenya)

    Congrats America we have our first son of a whore non-natural citizen as a usurper.

    Yes we can!

    Shocking and yet sad. He was born in Hawaii (which was a US state then) to an American woman (who was born in Kansas). That pretty much makes him a citizen. Anyone who doubts that really needs to go get an education…and focus on that part. They’ll realize how stupid they’re all acting.

    And secondly, I find this ironic that these people are even saying anything to start with considering these are the people that wanted to revise the US Constitution a few years ago to let non-US citizens run for President. (so they could elect gov. arnold)
