Poll: 60 Percent of Americans Think Obama Lies on Important Issues

According to new polling released by Fox News, the vast majority of the country believes President Obama lies on important issues.

About six in ten American voters think Barack Obama lies to the country on important matters some or most of the time, according to a Fox News poll released Wednesday.

Thirty-seven percent think Obama lies “most of the time,” while another 24 percent say he lies “some of the time.” Twenty percent of voters say “only now and then” and 15 percent “never.”


It isn't just Obama's typical foes who think he's less than honest, Democrats and single women aren't too confident in his truth telling abilities either.

The number of voters saying Obama lies “most of the time” includes 13 percent of Democrats. It also includes 12 percent of blacks, 16 percent of liberals, 31 percent of unmarried women and 34 percent of those under age 30 -- all key Obama constituencies.


For President Obama, these numbers don't matter much, but they do matter for Democrats up for election this year who have been avid supporters of Obama's policies. Democratic support for Obamacare in particular continues to weigh on the minds of voters, especially voters who have lost the healthcare plans they were promised they could keep.

It’s the part of the electorate that will continue to pull the lever for proven liars, so long as they continue to hand out Free Stuff. THAT’S the problem!

Those are probably the ones on Medicaid. They could care less, since they don’t have to pay anyway

Absolutely. You can’t rule that possibility out and make no mistake those two perspective presidential candidates are in the Obama wing of the party. They’re not about to step aside and let the Clintonistas rule the Democratic Party and have control over the big money donors. This upcoming election is more than Democrats vs Republicans. It’s also about the Clintons vs the Obamas and for the control of the Democratic Party.

Can’t agree.

Obama lies about every, single thing 100% of the time.

Americans are very far from smart.

It doesn’t even have to be important issues on which he lies. He’s a sociopath and a serial LIAR. I can only guess that would be his defense at a trial. Mental deficiency

Of the 60% who know he’s lying, what % are happy about it?

Doesn’t matter. Those same people polled will claim you are a racist for calling him a liar. Joe Wilson deserves a big-ass apology but he ain’t gonna get one.

The other 40% don’t care a bit, so long as they get their SNAP, free phones, 1040EZ ‘refund’ and all.

That 40% includes people who think Obama lies only about unimportant issues, people who think Obama’s aids lie to Obama and that Obama is just too darned good and trusting, people who believe Obama is The One and that any sound uttered out of any of his orifices is by definition the truth, people who still think Bush is president (explaining everything bad since 2008), people who think Justin Beiber or some other celebrity is president, and people who are in persistent vegetative states.

60% of Americans KNOW Obama lies. “If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor”. Yeah, right.

Heh.

I think Steyn summed it up nicely when he said that the headline that should have been used was “87% of Americans believe Obama is a liar.”

If I got that number right, it may have been 81%.
