Poll stunner: Birthers are half of GOP primary voters


• 51 percent of likely primary voters nationwide think President Obama wasn’t born in the United States

• 28 percent think he was born here, 21 percent aren't sure

• Among those who don’t think he was born in U.S., Sarah Palin has 83 percent favorability ratings

• Mike Huckabee follows with 64 percent favorability among birthers

• But Huck wins a birther primary with 24 percent of the vote (Palin 19 percent, Gingrich 14 percent)

• A slightly greater proportion of women are birthers (53 percent)

• A higher proportion of voters 18 to 29 and older than 65 are birthers

Poll: 51 percent of GOP'ers still want the birth certificate

In a shocking finding, more than half of GOP primary voters believe President Barack Obama was not born in the United States, according to a new poll.

Fifty-one percent of 400 Republican primary voters surveyed nationwide by Public Policy Polling said they ascribe to the controversial birther conspiracy theory — despite the fact that the state of Hawaii has posted Obama’s certificate of live birth.


Only 28 percent said they think the president was born in the United States — a constitutional requirement to be president. Twenty-one percent said they were “not sure.”

“Any thought that the birther theory has been put to rest can be thrown out the window,” said Dean Debnam, the president of the Democratic-leanign polling firm. “That view is still widely held in Republican circles.”

Even a number of Republicans officials have said they believe Obama was born in the US and have called for an end to the debate

Among those who do not believe Obama was born in the United States, Mike Huckabee is their first choice for president, followed by Sarah Palin, Newt Gingrich and then Mitt Romney.

1. Pali doesn't live in America...

Alaska isn't even attached to the USA!

[gratuitous]

2. But it's not because they're racists, so stop saying that

Arrest my case.

3. Not surprised. Never did think birthers were among the sharpest tools in the tool shed. n/t

[Rambis]

4. I can see all the dumb shits from here

the stupid it burns! Iowa has become a wasteland of non thinkers and damn proud of it :puke:

[bluestateguy]

5. Good! Make the presidential candidates have to pander to their views

And push them further into the wackadoo camp for the real election in November.

[damntexdem]

6. Just another way of saying that over half of the GOP voters are racists.

Birtherdom isn't stupidity, it's a facade for racism. Stupidity is BELIEVING the birthers.

[Rageneau]

8. And slow-witted racists, at that.

[Rex]

7. Yep, scary ain't it?

[Rageneau]

9. Instead of Democrats, I think we ought to start calling ourselves the intelligent, reasonable party

That would better distinguish us from our opponents, and would be more truthful as well.

[Badfish]

10. "Half the GOP voters are birthers..."

Yep , and most of their Democratic family members show them respect and treat them as equals.

Either they are nuts , or they aren't.

Democrats need to make up their minds.

11. No, they are just using Birther language because they can't call Obama a n***er.
