AP Poll Finds More Americans Believe Obama Is Jewish Than Muslim
Mediaite ^ | 10/28/12 | Andrew Kirell

According to a new Associated Press survey, more Americans believe President Barack Obama is Jewish than believe that the president is a Muslim; while a plurality of the surveyed individuals believe he has “no religion.”

The survey, conducted using 1,071 random adults during the first week of September, asked, “Do you happen to know the religion of [Barack Obama]?”

The results were as follows:

Protestant — 28%
Catholic — 5%
Mormon — 0%
Jewish — 18%
Muslim — 10%
Other religion — 2%
No religion — 35%
Don’t know — 2%
Refused/Not Answered — 28%

Interestingly, the percentage of Americans who believe Obama is Jewish up from 0% in 2010, while the 10% of those who believe Obama to be of the Muslim faith is down from 17% two years ago.

Another noticeable shift in opinion is in those who believe the president has “no religion.” In 2010, only 2% of the surveyed said that he is areligious, while this year a plurality of 35% answered as such.

Despite the president repeatedly self-identifying as a Christian, only 33% of the surveyed Americans answered that Obama is any form of a Christian.

The same survey also found that 39% of Americans believe President Obama was born in another country.

By asking “Where was Barack Obama born, as far as you know?” the Associate Press found that 49% believe Obama is an America-born citizen, 39% believe he is foreign-born, and 12% refused/declined to answer.

Full survey results here.

I’m guessing this poll was conducted in a skid row bar after 10:00 PM.

Many FReepers beleive that he can be anything that he wants to be while running for election (see: Rev. Wright )

Most FReepers know him to be an Islamo/Commie/Facist/Saul Alinskite who would rather sleep than do his job .

If you look closely at his neck it appears the prick was circumcised.

I would guess that those polling who said he’s Jewish were just having fun with the pollster by telling them an obvious lie to see how it would fly. I have (sadly) done this myself, especially on push polls from overtly liberal polling firms. I’m on a calling list of some sort; even though I live way off the road in Bush Alaska, I get lots of polling calls. Go figure. When the call is one of those automated jobs, I’ve even let my elementary-age son answer the questions. Hard to say if my answers are considered. How would they know I’m not a Japanese-American woman, aged 26-34, with an income of less than $10,000 and a doctorate?

Seriously, though, the lack of religious affiliation from our Dear Leader is also clear enough. He’s rarely shown at church; he rarely talks about Scripture; he sneers at believers; and he’s a leftist. Ergo, no religion.

Propaganda.

Just like the “Americans are more racist” poll they released the other day.

I know this AP poll is bogus because -

‘black jesus’
‘alien deity’
.

.
are not one of the choices given.

I agree with you. Bam Bam has shown his disdain for Jews via his treatment of Israel and his sucking up to the Muslim Brotherhood.

The MSM manufactures polls just like it manufactures news. To listen to the MSM is to know less than nothing.

Or at Ivy League liberal colleges.
