Thirty percent of GOP still believe Obama not born in U.S.
Source: Raw Story
By Eric W. Dolan

Even after the release of his long-form birth certificate last week, a substantial amount of Republicans still do not believe President Barack Obama has proven he was born in the United States.

A new Zogby interactive poll conducted April 29 to May 2 of 2,020 likely voters found that 30 percent of Republicans and 21 percent of those without a college degree did not believe Obama was born in the U.S. Sixteen percent of all voters said they did not believe Obama has proven he was born in America.

Many so-called "birthers" believe there is persuasive evidence that Obama was born in Kenya in 1961 and that his birth certificate was faked in order to make him eligible for the Presidency. The conspiracy was first conceived during the 2008 campaign.

1. same percent that think Saddam was responsible for 911...and same percent
that supported Bush at the bitter end. They appear to be the utterly lost 30%. And that is an awful lot of people.

5. And probably still think the earth is flat, that the universe orbits around earth and
GE lights the moon at night.

have syphilis, and also born in Pakistan.
