Just 51% of Americans believe Obama eligible

Just 51% of Americans believe Obama eligible
Nearly 1/2 of U.S. citizens say he's not 'legitimate president'

A new poll marking Barack Obama's one year as president reveals Americans are questioning his legitimacy to hold the office, fear his plans and doubt even his friends.

...

Wenzel said voters have advanced in their opinions of the issue of Obama's legitimacy from some six months ago when most Americans said they were aware of the questions being raised.

When asked if they consider Obama a "legitimate president," 32.6 percent said no, and another 15.8 percent said they were not sure. Barely half of the voters, 51.5 percent said they do consider Obama a legitimate president even though he has yet to produce a long-form birth certificate that would prove he was born in the U.S.

...

"As he loses public support for his agenda, the risk grows that this unaddressed issue could come back to haunt Obama, perhaps at a time when he can least afford it. Evidence of this stems from this latest WND/Wenzel Strategies poll – where support for Obama's legitimacy drops to 48 percent when respondents are asked to consider not only the birth certificate issue but also Obama's legislative agenda during his first year," Wenzel said. "The percentage who question his legitimacy also increases when his agenda is considered as part of the equation."

Obama could make it 100% just by producing a legitimate US BC.

As Beck pointed out today...”He may get taken down by his own inner circle for not being left enough to suit their agenda.” In their world everyone is expendable,

"What sort of people vote in a World Net Daily poll?"

The sort of people that are contacted, by phone, by Wenzel Strategies (presumably, after being commissioned by WND).

Not unless it shows his Daddy to be someone other than Barrack H. Obama, then British subject and citizen of Kenya.

My question is which Democrat representative or senator, in their anger and desperation, will become the first Democrat “birther”?

"Didn’t all of this start with a Democrat?"

I believe, the Hillary "camp" raised the question(s) first.

Big time Hillary supporter and lifelong (D) member Philip Berg was the first to file an "eligibility" lawsuit...before the DNC convention.

Look. I don't think he qualiries. But to suggest that half the people in the country are even aware that there is a question about his eligibility is absurd. This is the kind of article that causes me to go lightly with stuff WND reports.

ML/NJ

I don't know, but the article says:

Do you suppose the automated system knows how to contact only those people who know the poll is commissioned by WND?

I didn't get that from the article. What I got from it, is that as Barry's popularity continues to drop, more and more people are questioning his eligibility...let alone his policies. The same polling firm states the progression from Barry's higher poll numbers and the respondents being "aware" of the issue, to (now) lower poll numbers and many of the respondents saying they don't believe he's eligible. It's showing a progression in the issue which is contrary to the obot narrative that the issue is dead and gone.

Chances are actually very good that he doesn’t have a legitimate US BC. The one he’s got is almost certainly doesn’t qualify to be prima facie evidence, since it has been amended. Fairly brief summary of what we’ve got at http://butterdezillion.wordpress.com/2010/01/11/red-flags-in-hawaii-2/

We actually should be able to find out if BP2’s hunch that the Obama-Dunham divorce page missing is Obama’s birth certificate but he/she (sorry, haven’t been keeping track of genders) would need to make a UIPA request to find out for sure.

And if we can get funding, John Charlton is working on a court case to force the DOH to give everything they are legally required to give - including Obama’s original birth certificate - based on rules and the public statement that Fukino made on July 27, 2009. If anybody can afford to pitch in it will speed up the process.

The sad part is that the only way he should have been able to HIDE his birth certificate is by not trying to get his name on the ballot. By applying for the official government service of getting his name on a ballot he submitted to government workers having the right to check the information he submitted against the official documents at the very least and actually certified copies of his records as well.

5 Harvard University transcripts
6 Illinois State Senate records
7 Illinois State Senate schedule
8 Law practice client list and billing records/summary
9 Locations and names of all half-siblings and step-mother
10 Medical records (only the one page summary released so far)
11 Occidental College Transcripts
12 Parent’s marriage Certificate
13 Record of baptism
14 Selective Service registration records
(Did Obama Actually Register for Selective Service?
This supposed revelation of 0's SS records has been debunked here and here.)
15 Schedules for trips outside of the United States before 2007
16 Passport records for all passports
17 Scholarly articles
18 SAT and LSAT test scores
19 Access to his grandmother in Kenya
20 List of all campaign workers that are lobbyists
21 Punahou grade school records
22 Noelani Kindergarten records are oddly missing from the the State of Hawaii Department of Education.
23 Page 11 of Stanley Ann Dunham's divorce decree.
24 Why did Barack Obama resign from the Illinois bar and where are all of the relevant documents?
25 Why did Michelle Obama resign from the Illinois bar after only about four years of practice and where are all of the relevant documents?

Anyone who cares about their country would be very concerned that a POTUS had hidden every scrap of information of his life that he possibly could.
