20% of Texans believe Obama is Muslim...

It seems like a country unto itself in this election, with McCain enjoying the same kind of lead that Obama gets nationally. Maybe this has something to do with it:

In order to gauge public awareness of Obama's religion, we asked respondents, "What do you believe Barack Obama's religion to be?" A plurality, 45.5%, chose the "Protestant" option, and 28 % couldn't say. Twenty percent, however, said that Obama is a Muslim.

Re: 20% of Texans believe Obama is Muslim...

  • I voted today in Texas--for McCain, but I know Obama's not a Muslim. Big Smile

    Most of my friends and family voted for him, too, but they also know Obama's not a Muslim.

    I can guarantee you that if I hear a fellow Texan say that Obama's a Muslim, I will correct them.  I cannot guarantee that I won't bring up Rev. Wright as my proof. Wink

     

  • I am pretty sure there are some people out there who will believe Obama is a Muslim despite being beaten over the head with the facts. They just want to believe he is a Muslim/Boogeyman/Different/etc. because it is easier for them to do so.
  • Thank goodness for you, KA!

  • I took a poll like this in Minnesota and I found myself almost answering that Obama is a muslim. I caught myself and answered Christian, but it was crazy.

  • I was talking with a fellow faculty member this morning. She is a republican so no matter what she wasn't voting for Obama but she did say she is frightened of his being elected due to his ties to terrorists and his being a Muslim.

    I just shook my head in disbelief. I gave up a long time ago trying to convince those who said he is a Muslim that he isn't.
