Poll: Obama seen as smartest, most honest candidate
Washington Post ^ | Oct 5, 2011 | Adelle M. Banks

Posted on 10/05/2011 8:19:52 PM PDT by Clairity

Americans consider President Obama to be the smartest and most honest presidential candidate against former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and Texas Gov. Rick Perry, according to a new poll, but religious groups differ on their views of the candidates' attributes.

Among evangelicals, Perry scored the highest and Romney scored the lowest, though Romney tied with Obama on leadership skills. ... Catholics overwhelmingly ranked Obama higher than the other two candidates in all four categories.

Yes indeed, the American people have been clueless for a generation now or more. It is hard to teach them.

Let me guess. Other questions where Obama tops the others:
1. Obama is the only one who can turn water into wine
2. Obama doesn't really need a plane to cross the ocean, when he can walk across it
3. The US has never seen a better time of prosperity than under Obama

Poll: Obama seen as smartest, most honest candidate...

And this is why his "strongly approve" numbers exceed 40%.

The Washington Post thinks the whole country is as stupid as Washington DC.

I thought it was the accepted wisdom that Obama is smart. Why would they need to test this supposed truth? (I think he is smart, but not brilliant. There are millions as smart as he, IMO. He’s just able to read, is black, and is a liberal, so people think he is the most brilliant man since Da Vinci. There are many libs who think only libs are smart. That’s what this is about, IMO. A bunch of hooey, as others have said.

Let me guess, Obama got all the Democrat support, and the Republican support was split on the other two.
