Public Policy Polling: Majority of Republicans Doubt Obama's Eligibility to be President; That Would Be 72% Bill 'Pinhead' O'Reilly!
Via the Public Policy Polling and Some; - Romney and the Birthers - By Tom Jensen -
Birtherism is alive and well within the GOP ranks, and their 2012 nominee preferences tell a story about the difficulty Mitt Romney faces in trying to appeal to an electorate that's a whole lot further out there than he is.
Birthers make a majority among those voters who say they're likely to participate in a Republican primary next year. 51% say they don't think Barack Obama was born in the United States to just 28% who firmly believe that he was and 21% who are unsure. The GOP birther majority is a new development. The last time PPP tested this question nationally, in August of 2009, only 44% of Republicans said they thought Obama was born outside the country while 36% said that he definitely was born in the United States. If anything birtherism is on the rise.
How does this impact Romney? Well among the 49% of GOP primary voters who either think Obama was born in the United States or aren't sure, Romney's the first choice to be the 2012 nominee by a good amount, getting 23% to 16% for Mike Huckabee, 11% for Sarah Palin, and 10% for Newt Gingrich. But with the birther majority he's in a distant fourth place at 11%, with Mike Huckabee at 24%, Sarah Palin at 19%, and Newt Gingrich at 14% all ahead of him. That pushes him into a second place finish overall at 17% with Mike Huckabee again leading the way this month at 20%. Palin's third with 15%, followed by Gingrich at 12%, Ron Paul at 8%, Mitch Daniels and Tim Pawlenty at 4%, and John Thune at 1%. -Full Poll here. ...Report continued here; http://publicpolicypolling.blogspot.com/2011/02/romney-and-birthers.html
Via Roll Call; - Majority of Republicans Doubt Obama's Birthplace - By Kyle Trygstad -
A slim majority of Republicans are still in disbelief that President Barack Obama, now in his third year in office, was born in the United States and therefore is legally eligible to be president, according to a poll by the Democratic firm Public Policy Polling.
The survey looked at whom these “birthers” prefer in the 2012 Republican presidential primary contest. Among the 51 percent of Republicans who think Obama was born outside of America, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee was preferred by 24 percent, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin by 19 percent, former Speaker Newt Gingrich (Ga.) by 14 percent and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney by 11 percent. ...Continued here; http://www.rollcall.com/news/Poll-Majority-GOP-Birthers-203418-1.html

So I guess Obama won’t have many Republicans voting for him in 2012.
Come on, now you nutjobs!
The other night, I heard the great Bill O’Reilly himself tell Juan Williams that anybody who doubted Obama’s eligibility or his Christian religion was a “pinhead” and a “nut.”
That does it for me-—the ultimate authority has spoken! /s
“Birtherism is alive and well within the GOP ranks, and their 2012 nominee preferences tell a story about the difficulty Mitt Romney faces in trying to appeal to an electorate that’s a whole lot further out there than he is.”
That’s crazy talk!
We just don’t like his flip flopiness...and RomneyCare.
I used to watch O’Reilly. Not any more!
What kind of pinhead calls his audience “nuts?”
The kind who is told to do it by Ailes and Murdoch?
Ever since Sen. Menendez threatened Neil Cavuto with being kicked off the air just before 0’s inauguration, I’ve detected a fear of coming down hard on the Regime.
They are scared silly of regulation and it shows.
Hey, BOR should be able to recognize a pinhead when he sees one!
Notice how they skipped how many democrats believe he is ineligible? I am sure it is in the double digits.
true,
