Let's look at the poll question...
Q11 Do you think Barack Obama was born in the United States?
Yes.................................................................. 28%
No.................................................................. 51%
Not sure......................................................... 21%

WHAT!? Not "in Hawaii" as has been the meme all this time?

The poll question does not ask the truly relevant and pertinent question of...
"Do you think Barack Obama is a natural born citizen and eligible to be POTUS in accordance with the Constitution?"
Got to stay away form that third rail at all costs.

“Any thought that the birther theory has been put to rest can be thrown out the window with this poll,” said Dean Debnam, President of Public Policy Polling. “That view is still widely held in Republican circles.”

Are you unaware that Hawaii is “in the United States”, that it is, in fact, ONE of those United States?

I was sitting a few months ago with a non-political person watching the Constitution being read. (They really weren’t that interested, but I had it on when they came over).

She’s not stupid, she’s just more concerned everyday with putting food on the table for her large family. She is a product of the NYC education system.

When the part came on about a president must be born in the US, she said, “Wow, I never knew that.”.

This surprised me. It got me to thinking, how many people think he isn’t born here, and don’t realize it’s illegal?

One other thing and I'm done. This is a dampener...
“That view is still widely held in Republican circles.”
Instead of stating that it's a growing view, which reflects reality, he tries to dampen the issue by saying that it's just a "widely held" view.

So prove ‘em wrong, Mr. Debnam, just prove ‘em wrong!
