In a recent telephone poll conducted by Research 2000 for the website Daily Kos, 58 percent of Republican respondents when asked if Barack Obama was born in the USA answered "no" or "not sure."
The Daily Kos, which calls itself "the largest progressive community blog in the United States," nonetheless found a reported 527 Republicans and 601 independents to accompany its 743 Democrats in answering the question.
Among Republicans, 28 percent answered they believe Obama was born outside the U.S., while 30 percent answered "not sure." Among independents, 83 percent affirmed their belief that the president was born in the U.S., while an overwhelming 93 percent of Democrats insisted it is so.
Join the petition campaign to demand President Obama resolve the question by revealing his long-form, hospital-generated birth certificate!
While the disparity between Republicans and Democrats is massive, the poll also demonstrated that where respondents live also makes a significant difference.

Where's our Daniel Ellsberg to release these "secret" documents?
Let me add a fourth. If he gives on this, even if there's no surprise, he might be subjected to great pressure to yield on other records he's sealed, such as his academic records and his passport travel information. This is information the media has dug up on every other candidate in my lifetime as part of the vetting process, and he clearly doesn't want any of it to surface.
That after-birther title is really disgusting, but so are those who are willing to go over a cliff for this conman/hustler/communist/progressive/fascist fraud.
Unknown. She did marry TWO muslims.
Under sharia law, if your father is muslim, YOU are muslim.
It rolls off the tongue better than Ommaculate Consceptionists...
I don’t know if he’s a USA natural born citizen or not—I just want to see the long form birth certificate. What does he have to hide? Imagine if this was Sarah Palin and there was a rumor she was born in Canada—and she refused to show her BC? What would the MSM be doing? Let this movement grow like the tea parties and others until the day Obama is gone from the White House.
At least Mutually Assured Destruction worked between the old Soviet Union and America,
It doesn't work so well when your opponent is actively looking forward to his 72 virgins and 18 young boys like pearls and wants to die!
... in 1917.
According to the Wikipedia, home births in the United States declined from 50% in 1938 to under 1% in 1955. In Japan, home births were 95% in 1950 and 1.2% by 1975. I wonder what the numbers for Hawaii are.
“FREE THE LONG FORM!”
I resent the term “birther”! It is not right to have a label placed upon you for asking the same questions every other President has been asked. When have we ever had one that had every single record of their existance before about the age of 35 sealed?
And this fact alone is what will eventually damn him in the eyes of most Americans.
The logic of what he's doing is inescapable. He would not allow the public perception of fraud to grow, if he had a means to stop it.
The poll doesn’t make sense, it just doesn’t meet my smell test.
Republicans and Southerners are both skeptical of Obama’s citizenship by about the same amount.
Yet, those from the rest of the country, democrats and independents are close to unanimous in favor of citizenship.
This just doesn’t add up. I don’t know what kind of sample you’d need to come up with this- just doesn’t seem possible statistically.
I think the poll is designed to “prove” the point that “all republicans are southerners” or some other silliness.
“Would be cheaper to release this document, unless he has something to hide.”
I wonder if there is something else on the birth certificate, other than the PLACE of birth, that he is protecting from view.
