54 percent said no to the prospect of a Muslim in the White House

Only 54% against a Muslim in the WH? I don't believe that number. There's something biased about this poll.

I would expect that to be about 75%.

I'd have to be certified as insane before I'd ever vote a Muslim into the presidency. (Would you prefer Wahabi, Mahdi, or Mujahedeen?)

[neodad]

With no likely Muslim candidate on the presidential horizon

Understatement of the year.

"Only 54% against a Muslim in the WH? I don't believe that number. "

That's because they only polled 46% Democrats, obviously....

[ritewingwarrior]

Once again another MSM skewed poll. There is no way only 54% of Americans would vote no to a Muslim. Even the 49% of the Americans who are totally narcissistic and delusional, wouldn't vote for a Muslim.

[Osage Orange]

Are you John McCain?

[Tanniker Smith]

Well, duh! to both.

Obviously, in the given climate, no one wants a Muslim in the White House.

And the Mormons don't deserve to get it either. I mean, they already have Heaven all to themselves, except for Saddam Hussein, of course, who Satan dumped there because Saddam was seriously ticking Satan off.

"Muslim in White House"

If a majority of this country elected a mooselimb to the WH, hmmmmmmm..........

That thought makes me afraid of what I might do in that case.

"Los Angeles Times/Bloomberg poll"

Pretty much all I needed to know.

[Humidston]

21 percent said they could not vote for an evangelical Christian.

Oooh bubba, don't vote for one of those EEEVIL evangelicals!
Those Bible-thumpers are DANGEROUS!

The nationwide survey of 1,321 adults was conducted June 24-27.

Poll again.

[Alex Murphy]

The nationwide survey of 1,321 adults was conducted June 24-27. The poll has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3 percentage points, poll director Susan Pinkus said.

I'd love to see those results split out between Republican and Democrat responses :D

[youthgonewild]

I'd vote for either one if they kept their religion under wraps and were strong on the War on Terror and actually secured our borders and had fiscal responsibility. If such a man came along, I'd vote for him if he were named Brigham Mohammed.

[bboop]

NO MUZZIES IN THE WHITE HOUSE, not never, no-how. I would riot in the streets. With a rifle.

[claudiustg]

54% probably don't want Muslims in the country.

[taxesareforever]

So not wanting a muslim in the White House is bias. I don't want a child molester or a murderer in the White House. Is that bias also? In a liberal's mind it is only bias when anything, and I mean anything, that reflects negativity to muslims or gays is bias. We aren't allowed to have an opinion without being called biased.

[Rameumptom]

Only 15 percent replied that they would not vote for a Jewish presidential candidate.

Yeah this one is false. Democrats won't admit they are Jew haters but the evidence is in the Lamont/Liebrman race. I believe Lieberman lost, in part, because he was a Jew. Libs associated him with Israel invading Lebanon, which they couldn't stand.

[wai-ming]

How about an atheist Presidential candidate? Where are the poll results for that?

Have we ever had an atheist President? How about "closet" atheists, like Clinton?

[Pan_Yans Wife]

There is a great deal of insider information about the Mormon religion, in that, most people do not have any familiarity with it. That being the case, Romney's choice of religion does bring up many questions.

[Lazamataz]

54 percent said no to the prospect of a Muslim in the White House.

Way too low.

The percentage should be:

I will walk through live machine gun fire to rip the throat out of a Muslim in the White House: 100%
