Harris Poll of Republicans

(By Andrew MacKie-Mason)

There's a new Harris poll evaluating opinions among self-identified Republicans. It was linked to by Brian Tamanaha at Balkinization. I'll give you the highlights and refer you to the poll or the article for more details.

Republicans who believe that President Obama:
  • Is a Muslim (57%)
  • Wants to turn over the sovereignty of the United States to a one world government (51%)
  • Was not born in the United States and so is not eligible to be president (45%)
  • Want to use an economic collapse or terrorist attack as an excuse to take dictatorial powers (41%)
  • Is doing many of the things that Hitler did (38%)
  • May be the Anti-Christ (24%)
  • Wants the terrorists to win (22%)
Perhaps there's a danger to using hyperbole and outright lies to win political points after all.
