Gallup: Obama’s Approval Highest Among Muslims—78 Percent
CNS ^ | 8/27/2010 | Terrance P Jeffrey

CNSNews.com) - While President Barack Obama’s overall approval rating averaged 48 percent for the first seven months of 2010, it was 78 percent among Muslim Americans, according to the Gallup Poll. That gave the president a higher approval rating among Muslims than among any other religious category reported by the poll.

Members of other non-Christian religions (not including Judaism) gave Obama his second highest approval rating at 64 percent, according to Gallup, and people who described themselves as having no religion, or being agnostics, or atheists gave Obama a 63 percent approval rating.

Mormons gave Obama his lowest approval rating among the religious groups reported by Gallup. In the first seven months of 2010, only 24 percent said they approved of the job Obama was doing. He ranked next lowest among Protestant Americans, who gave him a 43 percent approval rating, then Catholic Americans, who gave him a 50 percent approval rating, and then Jewish Americans, who gave him a 61 percent approval rating.

Despite President Obama’s high approval rating of 78 percent among Muslim Americans during the first seven months of 2010 that was nonetheless still not as high as the approval ratings the president won from Muslim Americans last year. In the first half of 2009, Muslim Americans gave Obama an approval rating of 86 percent. In the second half of 2009, they gave him an approval rating of 83 percent. In all three periods, President Obama's approval rating among Muslim Americans was higher than among any of the other religous groups reported by the Gallup survey.

The latest survey, in which Muslim Americans gave President Obama an approval rating of 78 percent, was completed on July 31, before the president gave a speech at the White House on Aug. 13 defending the right of Muslims to build a mosque in lower Manhattan.

Back To Africa, anti-American, Anti-President Obozo!

He is a closet Muslim just waiting to complete his agenda before he outs himself with a big laugh at our expense. Cover him with pig blood when he goes down in defeat.

when will this so called press forget their bias for once, do their job and ask him why do you not go to church?
Why do you not celebrate Christmas or Easter?

If he tells you he does go to church ask which one , what kind is it prod catholic etc?

Why does he not shout out to Christians and jews as much as he does with muslims?

No closet - he is an out of the closet Muslim. LOL! Stupid union Catholics & Notre Dame abortion loving still love him along with Jews.

It is disgusting that Americans are so stupid and brainwashed by the Saudi financed TV networks who all want deals in the middle east and Saudi money including Fox.

So among most who either worship the Devil or deny the existence of God, Obama is Mr Popularity.

Yet people act like the notion of spiritual warfare raging for the proverbial soul of this nation is silly.

Of course!!! Goodness, who would have thought? I don’t know whether Obama is a Muslim, but he sure ain’t a Christian. After all those years sitting in “Hate America”, Black Racist, Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s “Mosque”, oops, I mean church, ya think, POTUS Obama sure looks, walks and talks like a radical Muslim!!!

You are dreaming if you think the press will do their job. Their jobs is 24x7x365 propaganda for him. ALL the TV networks have Saudi shareholders or deals in the Middle East. TV is controlled by them or like minded liberals who enjoy Islamic billions. TV is the enemy. Fools will keep watching NFL games where the NFL fawns all over Hussein with commercials about him in between the “stupid white guy” commercials.

I cancelled TV a year ago because ALL of it supports him.

This headline made me laugh out loud. His high priced PR folks are failing him.

When I think of Obama - the word “hapless” comes to mind.

Wow - I have to give the LDS church credit (I’m not a member but have many friends who are). 24% approval? They weren’t taken in by him it appears...

The other 22% are disappointed that Obama hasn’t imposed Sharia Law, yet.

Notice how this is one of the rare news stories that doesn't use the word "unexpected"?
