Meanwhile, the number of Americans who correctly identify Mr Obama as a Christian has fallen by nearly half from a year, to 34 per cent.

Despite the US president’s attendance in church and his repeated and public statements about his Christian faith, the number of Americans who believe he is actually Muslim is rising, the Pew Research Center poll found.

Meanwhile, the number of Americans who correctly identify Mr Obama as a Christian has fallen by nearly half from a year, to 34 per cent.

The poll, conducted by The Washington Post, found one third of conservative Republicans believe Mr Obama is a Muslim, nearly double the figure who said so last year.
The number of independent voters with the same mistaken belief has also risen, by eight points, to 18 per cent, the Post said.

The poll was taken before Mr Obama waded into a bitter dispute last week over plans for a mosque and interfaith centres just blocks from the New York site of the September 11, 2001 attacks.







Gee, I'll bet that number is even higher now, about 50/50 I would expect.

And some commentary on this burning issue from some pundits.

 Includes the George Stephanopoulos interview where Obama mentions "my Muslim faith".

If being a practicing Christian means the last church you were actively and ongoing attached to was the hate mongering racist one of Jeremiah Wright's.....
 
One does wonder. From his family roots that include the Muslim faith to now.
 
Fair game, Mr. President. Public figure that you are. Fair game.
 
And note that he is no longer a member of any Christian church - at all.
 
Trying to have it both ways, per chance?
