>The polls here indicate that 43 percent of Republicans believe Obama is a Muslim vs 15 percent of democrats.
>I suspect its 90% of all FOX News viewers...haha

Victor, there have been several polls with very difficult results.

Yes, while the % of Rs who believe that is higher than the % of Ds, those polls are filled with confirmation bias, inconsistent lines of questioning, etc.

Here's an example - it deals with the way that people have reacted to a major Congressional election study, and the way that people react when someone jumps on Trump's back when Trump "doesn't correct someone who says 'Obama is lying about his faith'"

Here are numbers from the Congressional election study. Note: I am not debating faith or whether one religion is better. I am simply referring to published studies and the way people have reacted to them. Here are numbers from registered Democrats:

On Obama's faith, according to polled Dems.

26% I don't know
17% "Spiritual"
2% Atheist
10% Muslim
45% Christian

First, I want to point out that some polls that targeted Rs had a fewer # of choices. But beyond that...

Look at these numbers. So while only a small % of Dems in the poll think that Obama is a Muslim, slightly over half aren't taking Obama at his word that he's a Christian. While I'm not a fan of either Scott Walker or Donald Trump, MSNBC unfairly ripped them for not "speaking up" when right-wingers questioned whether Obama was telling the truth. Well, guess what...from that poll, a quarter of Dems surveyed don't know either, and slightly more than half didn't take Obama's word as gospel (no pun intended)

Quite simply, those who jump on Rs (for claiming that Obama is lying) can't have it both ways. I'm asking for both you and Bill to give that some thought.
