Poll: 54% of Republicans say that, "deep down," Obama is a Muslim - Vox

Max Fisher:

Over half of Republicans answered “Muslim” when asked which religion describes President Obama’s “deep down” beliefs, according to a newly released poll by Alex Theodoridis of the University of California at Merced.

Theodoridis, who released the results on Wednesday on the Washington Post political science blog Monkey Cage, asked Americans this question: “Which of these do you think most likely describes what Obama believes deep down? Muslim, Christian, atheist, spiritual, or I don’t know.” The poll was conducted in the fall of 2014.

The results, divided by party affiliation, are shown above. And they’re pretty staggering. Among Republicans, 54 percent answered “Muslim” when asked what Obama believes; only nine percent said “Christian,” his stated religion.
