Muslims Give Obama Highest Job Approval; Mormons, Lowest
Gallup ^ | August 27, 2010

Posted on 08/27/2010 5:01:36 AM PDT by Clintonfatigued

Muslim Americans continue to give President Barack Obama the highest job approval rating of any major religious group in the U.S., while Mormons give the president the lowest ratings.

The differences in Obama's approval ratings across the religious groups included in this analysis have held fairly constant across time, even as Obama's overall rating has fallen by 15 points between the first half of 2009 and the first seven months of this year. American Muslims -- in the news recently with the controversy over proposed plans to build an Islamic center and mosque near ground zero in New York City -- have given Obama his highest ratings in all three time periods: 86% in the first half of 2009, 83% in the second half of 2009, and 78% so far this year. Mormons have given Obama his lowest ratings across time, dropping from 43% in the first half of 2009 to 24% this year.

In addition to Muslims, Obama receives above-average ratings among Jews, those who identify with other non-Christian religious groups, and those with no formal religious identity. Obama gets lower-than-average ratings among Protestants. Catholics have given Obama slightly higher-than-average ratings last year and so far this year.

Well, Orrin G. Hatch should be able to turn things around for his friend “Barack”.

Those pollsters at Gallup certainly have a firm grasp of the obvious, don’t they.

This Texas resident gives Obama about a 16% approval rating.

It’s the same percent one gives to a moron who only fills out their name on a SAT test.

Ha!

The White House wonders why at least 1/4 of Americans believe zero is a muzzie. Well even the muzzies think he is one of them, so it should be obvious, no surprise.

They obviously forgot to poll old jarheads. We would have been lower than the Mormons...

The report is suspect.

It true, how do Mormons reconcile Romney (author of RomneyCARE, proObama) and Reid (ObamaCARE, proObama)?

What a shock. If I had to guess this without knowing I would have been right. ;d

“Catholics have given Obama slightly higher-than-average ratings last year and so far this year.”

Still popular with Hispanics?

I believe that Obama’s approval ratings among the denominations are padded by his popularity among black Protestants and Hispanic Catholics.

So should “he’s a decent guy” mclame.

This poll can be taken that 78% of Muslims believe Obama is a Muslim.

And they would know.

So how in the world does Harry Reid keeps getting elected. He should be at the bottom of the barrel in opinion by Mormons given his politics and land scams.

Jews that support obama should no longer be called Jews.

These folks are Jews only by birth .... not because of their faith/religion/beliefs. They are secular Jews that only call themselves Jews to remain eligible for the Jewish social circuit.

I don’t know what name to give these folks but they shouldn’t be confused with Jews because of religion. These folks are more “Jewish coattailers.” They only want to remain Jewish for social benefits.

Because of their support for hussein obama, I don’t consider them good Jews or good Americans. Israel and the USA mean little to them.

There are a lot of very good Jewish people out there. Unfortunately, there are some sorry folks that identify themselves as Jewish that I don’t really see as worthy of the label. They’re not good Jews or Americans.

"Muslims" are part of a political group....

Nothing Religious about a group that teaches "Kill All the Christians and Jews" and World Dominance.

Muslims, Sodomites, welfare brood mares, Stalinists, overseas dictators, felons, pedophiles, Saudi royalty, and foreign agents all approve of Soetoro in disturbing numbers.

It’s probably higher than that.
Those Muslims that disapprove could be wanting him to do MORE to advance Islam in America.

But, it must be stated, if 0bama was indeed a Christian convert, he would be universally reviled in the Muslim world and community.
