Trump Supporters Think Obama is A Muslim Born in Another Country

PPP's newest national poll finds Donald Trump just continuing to grow his lead over the GOP field. He is at 29% to 15% for Ben Carson, 9% for Jeb Bush, 8% for Carly Fiorina, 7% for Marco Rubio, 6% each for Ted Cruz and John Kasich, and 5% each for Mike Huckabee and Scott Walker. That group makes a pretty clear top 9. Rounding out the field are Chris Christie and Rick Santorum at 2%, Jim Gilmore, Rand Paul, and Rick Perry at 1%, and Lindsey Graham, Bobby Jindal, and George Pataki at less than 1%.

Our new poll finds that Trump is benefiting from a GOP electorate that thinks Barack Obama is a Muslim and was born in another country, and that immigrant children should be deported. 66% of Trump's supporters believe that Obama is a Muslim to just 12% that grant he's a Christian. 61% think Obama was not born in the United States to only 21% who accept that he was. And 63% want to amend the Constitution to eliminate birthright citizenship, to only 20% who want to keep things the way they are.

Trump's beliefs represent the consensus among the GOP electorate. 51% overall want to eliminate birthright citizenship. 54% think President Obama is a Muslim. And only 29% grant that President Obama was born in the United States. That's less than the 40% who think Canadian born Ted Cruz was born in the United States.

So only 29% of the GOP electorate think Obama was born in the United States while 40% of the GOP electorate think Ted Cruz was born in the United States even though Ted Cruz acknowledges that he was born in Canada.

Feel the stupid flow through you!!

USA! USA! USA!

1. That's no surprise

I mean they are dumb enough to support Trump. This means they will believe anything. Black helicopters, Fema camps and all.

[SummerSnow]

2. Didn't he send 'his people' to Hawaii to get the fake birth certificate? rofl

[cascadiance]

9. And apparently Obama won't do the "Porky's show" to show that he's circumcised

... and supposedly an American citizen if he was as noted here:

http://www.rawstory.com/2011/04/arizona-birther-law-to-accept-circumcision-papers-as-proof-of-citizenship/

Disregarding that people like me were born and circumcised about that time frame in Indonesia. Granted I was born in a Dutch hospital there, but that doesn't mean Obama couldn't have done the same thing, which we all know is crap with the papers he has from Hawaii anyway. It's really hilarious to see the right trying to build their elaborate theories about citizenship and what supports it and what doesn't.

17. Apparently people don't know that Muslims are circumcised?

It's part of their religion, same for Jewish people.

I dated a white girl who assumed I must be muslim until she..er...saw something she didn't expect to see. It turned out we were both Catholic and my family immigrated to America a good 20 years before hers.

silly people...

3. Of course. They're Trump supporters.

They're almost by definition divorced from reality.

[BlueJazz]

4. The sad thing about these idiots is: If a republican had been president instead of Obama,..

...the economy would likely be in the toilet, no healthcare, minimum wage would stay the same for (at least) another 15 months...plus a host of other "nasties"

[arcane1]

6. And they would be blaming liberals n/t

[BlueJazz]

10. You got that right!

[Solly Mack]

5. T-Rump supporters were also Palin supporters.

[virtualobserver]

7. That headline is a lie.....

Trump supporters don't THINK!

[HassleCat]

8. I have to excuse them

People who live in glass houses and all that. I have no room to criticize them. I believe Trump is an alien being from another planet. Not even a planet in our solar system.

[gregcrawford]

14. You're RIGHT!

And I saw proof of that right here on DU earlier today. That thing on Trump's head is a TRIBBLE! And that's trouble with a capital "T" and that stands for Trump! Metaphor soup, anyone?

[maddiemom]

20. A Tribble! Of Course!

LOL with you. Why has no one realized this before?

[gregcrawford]

22. Well, someone did...

... but I was laughing too hard to remember who it was. It was a little icon in a response to something or other, with Spock and Kirk commenting on the sorry state of... well, everything related to this electoral circus. VERY funny! So I stole it.

[Warpy]

11. Trump supporters think?

Well, there's the problem...

[gregcrawford]

12. To quote Forrest Gump's momma...

... "Stupid is as stupid does." Still not quite sure what that means, but it seems to apply here. Interestingly, these mental defectives have no problem with Cruz, who was born in Canada. Go figure.

Quick civics lesson, you drooling idiots: If one parent is an American citizen, which Obama's mother most definitely was, then it doesn't matter if he was born on the fuckin' MOON! He. Is. A. CITIZEN!

And no, "B-b-b-but he's BLACK!" doesn't change a damned thing.

Christ, these people shouldn't be allowed to breed indiscriminately, let alone VOTE! The gene pool is irreparably tainted.

[sakabatou]

13. Racists and xenophobes. Not surprised.

[Jack Rabbit]

15. Part of me is laughing right now

Dave and Charlie Koch though the Tea Partiers would vot for whoever they told to vote. So they told Joe the Plumber and company to vote for Scott Walker.

Then enter Donald Trump. He wins the dummy vote, right under Dave and Charlie's noses.

[Fred Sanders]

16. That kind of hate and stupidity and xenophobia reminiscent of a bygone era is why that must be the number one focus of

the Democratic Party.

Because obviously the corporate media thinks any of that is just entertainment, and not dangerous at all!

A Birther is AOK with the mass media!?

[maddiemom]

18. "You won't BELIEVE what my investigators in Hawaii found out!

Remember this from Donald Trump's previous campaign to claim President Obama was not born in the USA? Of course, we never found out what it was...but Trump bombastically delivered that claim...and never followed up. This is the Donald's usual M.O. His public just seems to accept the wild claims he makes without requiring either proof or specifics on his promises.

[IronLionZion]

19. I want Trump and his supporters out of my country

Their racist hatred makes them extremely un-American. They don't live like we do or think like we do or share our values. They should go somewhere were that's OK, but they can't stay here.

[63splitwindow]

21. Their belief goes WAYYY lower than that...

They ACTUALLY believe that President Obama and everyone else who does not believe exactly as they do quite literally hates the United States of America and wants to completely destroy same. Not in a philosophical sense--- in a literal sense. They are dumber than pet rocks.
