Poll: 23 Percent of Texans Believe Obama Is a Muslim
A University of Texas survey finds that 23 percent of registered voters in the state still believe Barack Obama is a Muslim, though the Democratic nominee for president is Christian.

FOXNews.com Thursday, 2008-30-304 2 x in order to recommend a story, you must login or register. 653 Comments | Add Comment A new poll finds that 23 percent of registered voters in Texas believe that Barack Obama is a Muslim, even though the Democratic candidate has repeatedly explained that he is a church-going Christian. The poll, conducted by the Texas Politics Project and Department of Government at The University of Texas in Austin, showed Obama trailing John McCain by 11 points in the Lone Star State. Forty-five percent of those polled accurately described Obama as a Protestant. But the 23 percent who identified his religion as Islam is about twice as high as in typical national polls. Throughout his presidential campaign, Obama has been fighting false rumors, largely hatched on the Internet, that he is secretly a Muslim. On Obama's Fight the Smears Web site, which his campaign set up to battle harmful claims, it says that Obama is a "committed Christian" who regularly attends church with his family. The Texas poll interviewed 550 registered voters in Texas from Oct. 15-22, and had a margin of error of 4.2 percent.

I saw this on Hardball with Chris Matthews.
This really amazes me, that so many texans believe this still.
I think he should come out and discuss his muslim background so people can hear it from the horses mouth. he does not practice islam. i mean how many votes will he lose to people that are just uninformed?

Unfortunately the past decades fear-mongering war on terror campaign has driven into the Public's mind that there is a strong corollary between Muslims and terrorists. So that did not help any...

Most human beings are not think-for-them-selfers that's why. At least in our modern world. MSM is the hive mind.

Two things.

1) The symbol of a circle is not exactly a niche idea

2) Is that image officially affiliated with Obama's campaign?
