The Washington Post/ABC News poll includes another bite at the birther apple, asking whether Americans have "suspicions" or "solid evidence." Among all Americans, 68 percent say Obama was definitely born in the United states, while 14 percent speculate about another country and the rest don't know; asked whether it was "your best guess that Obama was born in the United States," the "yes" number rises to 77 percent.
So who are the "birthers"? Mostly Republicans and "very" conservative voters.
(CHART AT LINK)
Thirty-one percent of Republicans doubt Obama's citizenship; the doubters also include 31 percent of tea party movement supporters, 36 percent of very conservative voters, and 27 percent of somewhat conservatives. Every other subgroup is under 20 percent.
But at this point we could have predicted that -- birtherism has remained a stubborn belief in the conservative base, despite widespread denunciation from elite conservatives.(continued)

WOW - this means 69% are incapable of drawing logical conclusions from observed actions! Very scary indeed!
(R - I - N - O's)
Why not check it out? Who knows? Maybe the birthers are right. What is there to lose?
I will submit that any evaluation of polling that contends 31% of Republicans and 31% of Tea Party supporters had the same response is bogus.
40 minutes and counting.
I am SO tired of reading about doubts of his citizenship. That is not the issue. I am certain that he is a citizen of some sort even if he does not act like a patriotic one.
The main issue is whether he is a Natural Born Citizen, the second issue is to get an agreed-upon definition of that, and the third issue is to find some collection of individuals with the power and incentive to challenge him if he is not a Natural Born Citizen.
In my humble opinion we are stuck with him whatever he is until we can vote him out of there. And I hope that at that time we have enough of a country to recover.
He may have been born naturally and he may even be a citizen but a natural born citizen he is not.
Among these 69% are ALL of our PUB congress critters. Shameless!!
Obie is an NBC, A Natural Born Communist.
agree.
if a parent of a child pursuing sports in high school has to provide a birth certificate,
why not the president of the united states?
/s
Actually, he is an illegal alien....
No SPs or FINOs yet!!!
How could any article on ‘birthers’ not report on the cause of ‘birthism’: Obama’s refusal to disclose his birth certificate. The whole issue would evaporate if Obama made such a simple move. The REAL issue is that Obama is hiding something. What is it?
That and leave office immediately!!
Aww, geez, not this sh$te again.
oops j edgar, my previous post was directed at the article, not you. sorry.
Ok no problem here.
