President Barack Obama’s love of country isn’t just a concern for Rudy Giuliani, according to a recent Huffington Post/YouGov poll.
A plurality of Americans surveyed — 47 percent — said that Obama loves America, but the rest say the president does not or that they’re not sure. The responses break down an expected partisan line, with only 11 percent of Republicans saying Obama loves America, and 85 percent of Democrats responding the same way. Independents are mostly split, with 42 percent say Obama loves the U.S., while 38 percent disagree and 20 percent are not sure.

The president is less patriotic than most people in public life, 39 percent responded, compared to 12 percent who called him more patriotic and 33 percent who deemed him as patriotic as others.
Giuliani, the former New York City mayor, last week openly questioned whether the president “loves America” during a private dinner featuring Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker. Giuliani has since clarified his remarks, writing in The Wall Street Journal on Sunday that he “didn’t intend to question President Obama’s motives or the content of his heart.”
The poll surveyed 1,000 American adults online between Feb. 20-23, with an overall model-based margin of error of plus-or-minus 4.1 percentage points.
Obama’s “47%” ride to his rescue again. That’s a lot of freeloaders.
The fact that the poll is this split represents a huge problem for the Democrats. Also the 12% who said “more patriotic” are delusional. I suspect the others who said he is patriotic are being defensive or projecting.
I would say that they need to be just as concerned about that app 20% who “aren’t sure”, which undermines that so-called plurality. What kind of president has his people even just “not sure” that he loves the country he leads?
Animals will do tricks for treats. Polling shows that people will, too.
47%. What a ringing endorsement! Why are the Republicans so scared of this guy? Oh yeah, sorry, I forgot, he’s black.
Well, at least Obama and the Democrats have a problem...
No, they are not delusional. Those are the ones the FBI should be tracking as possible terrorist suspects.
Faculty of UC-Berkeley?
Obama loves an Islamic vision of America.
Are you kidding me? Not even a simple majority of Americans thinks he loves the country? Then why on God’s green earth would they vote for him when he may not have their best interests at heart?
“Huffington Post” poll......”Hogwash”!!! Rudy Guiliani is right on the mark, and a majority of Americans feel exactly the same way as Rudy Guiliani feels!!! Let us wait and see “other” mulltiple poll results!!!
Democrats............... 35% or 130 Million Americans/illegals
Liberals (Dem Lite) 32% or 115 Million Americans
Republicans............ 33% or 120 Million Americans
Blacks are 13.9% of US Population (+/- 60 Million, 13.5% vote Democrat
130 Million Americans with 60 Million Blacks essentially makes the Democrat Party nearly a 48% Black Party representation.
Ever wonder why the Democrats do not worry about Black riots? Now you have clue.
These figures based on a US Population of 360 Million and not entirely accurate but close enough to SHOW BLACK Dominance in Democrat Party Politics.
Firstly, it is the HuffPoo. Secondly, I suspect this poll is skewed in favor of Obama due to the fear that anyone answering a question negatively about him might be the next target of his Admin. I never answer poll questions when called. I figure they have my number, probably know a lot more about me than just my phone number. A few years ago, I was answering a poll when they asked me ‘are there any guns in your home’. That was the last question they asked because I wouldn’t answer.......and I asked who was funding the poll. With all the excessive Government surveillance, from every direction, privacy needs protection.
My home is divided, my husband says no matter what, you do not say bad things about a sitting president.
I applauded Guiliani the only one who had the guts to say what he said....
At the same time I do see my husband’s point but agree with Rudy.
What do most Freepers think about this?
Mao would approve of your husband's position.
It’s the brainwashed yutes again...along with a few 60’s hippies that never grew up.
It’s not just “freeloaders”, but liberal azzhats like my brother who just can’t bring themselves to admit they made a mistake by voting for Obama. Liberals are driven/motivated by their ego rather than logic, even when it’s staring them in the face. Liberalism is a mental disorder.
He does not deserve the respect that normally would be present for POTUS.
