Poll finds 23% of Texans think Obama is Muslim
A University of Texas poll to be released this week shows Republican presidential candidate John McCain and GOP Sen. John Cornyn leading by comfortable margins in Texas, as expected. But the statewide survey of 550 registered voters has one very surprising finding: 23 percent of Texans are convinced that Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama is a Muslim.
Obama is a Christian who was embroiled in a controversy earlier this year about his two-decade membership in Chicago's Trinity United Church of Christ. Yet just 45 percent of those polled identified the Illinois senator as a Protestant.
The Obama-is-a-Muslim confusion is caused by fallacious Internet rumors and radio talk-show gossip. McCain went so far at one of his town hall meetings to grab a microphone from a woman who claimed that Obama was an Arab.
The Texas numbers are unusual because most national polls show that just 5 to 10 percent of Americans still believe Obama is a Muslim — less than half the number of Texans who buy into the debunked theories.
The UT poll shows McCain running ahead of Obama statewide, with a 51 percent to 40 percent margin. Cornyn, a first-term Republican from San Antonio, leads Rick Noriega, a state representative from Houston, 45 percent to 36 percent. Another 14 percent of voters remain undecided in the contest.
The poll found that 89 percent of Lone Star State voters say the country's economic situation is worse than a year ago. And President Bush and Congress both get record low marks.
Just 34 percent of Texans approve of Bush's job performance — a big change for a former governor who won re-election 10 years ago with 70 percent of the vote. And Congress is even more unpopular:
Just 8 percent of Texas voters approve of the work being done on Capitol Hill.
The telephone poll was conducted by the Texas Politics Project and Department of Government at The University of Texas at Austin. The poll was conducted from Oct. 15 to 22, and had a margin of error of 4.2 percentage points.
Sigh. For the last time, people, Barack isn't a muslim. The thing that really disturbs me about this ignorance is that there's NOTHING wrong with someone being a Muslim. 99% of Muslims are not terrorists and have nothing to do with the atrocities perpetuated by a few individuals. There are people of every faith and background who have done terrible things, and it's not representative of muslim beliefs, which are pacifistic. Secondly, this is America. The whole point of this country is that it's a melting pot where people of every race and belief can live and freely practice whatever beliefs they want and can make it into the presidential office regardless of skin color, religious beliefs, etc. The people accusing Barack are the same narrow-minded people who are perpetuating the downfall of our society with ignorance and hatred. Equal rights for all, folks. And when Barack wins, all I can say is, "Welcome to America, b!tches!"

say muslims are peaceful til the cows come home..but if they believe in that shit in the Koran..then they believe people should die who dont convert or leave the cult. Bottomline..they just havent had to do what they were instructed to do if they follow muhammeds rule. But that IS the instruction.
Re: Smirks – 98 FOR FOUR YEARS….SHOULDN'T THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION TAKEN CARE OF THIS?

• In Florida, Republican operatives visited Democratic voters and promised to "deliver their absentee ballots to the polling place" and then promptly threw them in the trash.
• In California, they used phony petitions to trick voters into registering Republican.
• In Virginia, they even sent out phony flyers telling Democratic voters to show up on the wrong day.

THEY ARE TRYING TO STEAL THIS ELECTION…AGAIN!!

DON'T LET ANYTHING STOP YOU FROM VOTING ON THE 4TH!

i'm watching cnn (liberal news media). they are rightfully ragging him for
1) refusing to denounce reverend wright while
2) denouncing the church he attended for 20 years
he has muslim, terrorist, racist friends who HATES americans. he is the most liberal senator there is. he has a failed dem senate and congress (lowest rating ever) to back him on socializing this country faster than anyone else ever could, and the ideology to do it.
he has a record of doing nothing and taking MUCH. he'll change policy as he see's fit to be re-elected, and will after electing new supreme court judges (3 probably) and gaining a 60 seat senate, be able to do all of this.
he'll do anything he can to gain power in order to enforce upon the people of the US his own ideologies. he'll lie his ass off to get in power, and leave us all along the roadside along the way and won't bat an eye.
he is a manipulator that basically despises and manipulates our voting process as well as his constituents.
basically votors: you're going to get what you've asked for (and don't even know how bad it might be yet because you can't trust anything he says)
wow thats sad…OBVIOUSLY people in texas arent educated
i can't believe nobody's voting on national security. we improved greatly the lives of iraqi's and have spent how many days without another attack on our soil? over 1000.
in our country now, it seems, the most popular idea is to "concede defeat". worldwide, and from within.
what a joke if you think the world is going to respect us for this.
Hi Everyone….from TEXAS. I too think Obama is Muslim. At least if he isn't overtly Muslim he says in his own book he will go the way of the Muslims. Period. Now the question is, does the fact that more people in Texas think he is a Muslim mean we are stupid fucks??? I think not. It just means we question things more than the average person and are not quick to take in what is being spoon fed to us. NONE of us think Bush is a real cowboy, so fuck off. He is a stupid piece of shit.
I for one just voted for Obama a few days ago after very long consideration.
Don't make comments without knowing all the facts about the group of people you are casting judgment upon.
And all of this being said, I did not feel great about either choice for President this time around. But, I felt Obama would better represent and run our nation. Time will tell.
obama announces he feels "vindicated by america". will we have obama on the new currencies and on flags outside our homes soon?
Re: sweetpiece – use all caps all you want, you're still stupid and we still don't care. you will be weeping soon little bunny. buuuaahhhh
Re: Laila – There are a billion people in the world who are FORCED to be muslim. Oh, and those radical christians,,,, the worst they will do to you is pray for your soul.
btw: don't bother promising your children that hard work and good performance will result in a payoff. at least not for them, but maybe for someone obama feels is more deserving.
see- it's not it's not redistribution, it's retribution that you should expect, and your kids will be on the bottom of the stack of equal candidates for the positions they equally struggle to secure (which will be very limited anyway)
I'll tell you one thing ….he is definetaly NOT a christian (as he claims). Obama may be able to FOOL people that call themselves christians , BUT he cannot fool me (a devout christian), I know what the bible says and Obama is NOT a follower of Christ.
He is Pro-abortion (murder), he believes in evolution (bible says we were created in Gods image….not a monkeys image) these are just 2 of the MANY examples that I KNOW he is NOT a christian. I too believe he is a MUSLIM (an anti-Christ)
HOW IS THAT B HEALING?
STINGS DOESN'T IT!
MRS. B?

MOST OF THE PUBES ON THIS POST HAVE CHANGED THEIR IDENTITIES! PRETTY PATHETIC, COWARDS!

I REPEAT…MCCAIN MORE OF THE SAME!

FOR THAT REASON ALONE….VOTE THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET
Re: starification – So leave. We don't want you to stay. There are plenty of liberal states who will be happy to support your lazy welfare ass.
Re: sweetpiece – YOUR PRO-OBAMA COMMENTS ARE SOPHMORIC AT BEST. YOU NEVER GIVE ANY CONCRETE KNOWLEDGE ABOUT OBAMA'S POLICIES OR PLATFORM…BESIDES GENERIC INFO FROM WIKI OR FACTCHECK (BOTH ARE A JOKE).
.
.
YOU SOUND LIKE A CULT MEMBER WITH SOME OF THE CRAP YOU SAY "FLOCKING TO OBAMA"…CRAZY AND SPOOKY
Not surprising at all….I live in Texas and there are some great folks here. Unfortunately, the vast majority are ignorant, gun-toting, intolerant, bible thumping rednecks who have not idea, nor do they care, about the world beyond this state.
The ignorance extends to the idea that somehow, we should spend a whole lot more on the military but still be able to cut taxes…DUH!!! That's like saying if I quit my job, I can buy a more expensive house, oh yeah, and a bunch more guns!!!…
The Texas Christian right credo: "I love my snuff, my dog, my truck and my guns. My idea of a good time is 4-wheelin, drinking Bud and shooting god's creatures. I hate queers, Muslims, liberals…aw heck , I hate anyone who don't look, think and act just like me. God bless Texas!"
WHAT CAN U EXPECT ?? IT IS TEXAS AFTER ALL..I LIVED THERE FOR 4 YEARS , I KNOW !!
Re: sweetpiece – I've never changed my identity, babycakes. I just LOVE watching you squirm around, trying to sound all comfy and all, when really YOU are the one that's SCARED!!
Re: nicaface – W was raised in Texas. Bush 41 and Barbara live in Houston and consider themselves Texans. They are often seen in Houston and College Station elementary schools and libraries. The George Bush Library and museum and located in College Station, Texas.
Maybe you have never heard of the saying "I wasn't born in Texas, but I got here as soon as I could. God Save America. God Bless Texas.
These people are ignorant, redneck racist morons if this is truly what they believe.
Re: YaYaYa – OBAMA'S POSITION ON ABORTION IS THE SAME AS MCCAINS! He is endorsed by Republicans for choice!

McCain wants to leave it to the states and not make it a federal mandate.

READ!

Re: papayaca – And you're a typical dumbass.
Texas has one of the largest populations, and they surveyed a TINY portion of the few uninformed people. This is frickin' ridiculous. Not to mention I'm sure half of the people don't truly belive he's a Muslim, not that being Muslim should be thought of as negative, but instead are accusing him of being so to make him look less in line with our American traditions. Texas is a Rublican state. Not to mention the large margin of error. As a Texan, friend and child of Republicans, I can guarantee that this survey doesn't reflect the whole state of Texas.
INBRED YAHOO'S OPINIONS DONT COUNT
Mrs. B…Melissa… I will be here for you "my friend" to love and comfort you in your loss.

DUH? muslim or no muslim who cares?
this election will be stolen by illegal finance and voter registration, and deception. from cnn:
It is not clear when Onyango arrived in the United States.
She told the London Times that she travels back and forth between the United States and Kenya.
"I have been coming to America ever since 1975. I always come and go," the Times quoted her as saying.
Federal campaign finance records indicate Onyango contributed at least $65 to Obama's campaign in July and September, in $5 and $25 increments. Obama spokesman Burton said the campaign has identified $265 in contributions from Onyango, including those not yet reflected in federal filings, and plans to return the funds.
The gifts would appear to violate federal campaign finance law, which prohibits political donations by non-U.S. citizens.
if the guy wasn't born in the us, receives illegal funding, has never done anything, is a total liar in public financing, his religious and personal affiliations, and hasn't done anything politically that his campaign (or his own vp) can endorse, lies about his taxation, military, and abortion policies; how can you vote for him?
i read one poster who stated "how can you not since he's so charming?"
Re: starification – Then do us all a favor and move the hell out of Texas. Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out. You won't be missed.
Re: googlegoogle846 – You need to move to WeHo, honey!
Re: mp1146 –
You are the biggest moron I've seen on this board in a long time. First, you say that my nickname is racist….LOL.
Secondly, you think we're better off being 'friends' with Iran. Yeah, because if we were only nice to the 9-11 hijackers that would have helped.
—————————————————————————————-
Even is Obama isn't a Muslim, he still seems pretty chummy with a lot of them….Iran, the PLO, Hamas…..
Re: yasmeen – UMmm…Okay first the folks in Waco did themselves in; not a plane full of people. If radical muslims want to stay in thier caves, collet guns and all have sex with one another, the world would be a better place.
the dems have run a strategy on repairing the energy crises which is causing US auto plant shutdowns across the nation. rep's used to want to keep our resources and burn up the ones in the mid east first. now they get offered $1000 checks to vote dem, and so switch. gas was high for a year, but so were all comoditties. now steel, oil, gas, and others are plummeting because people are spending less on them. rep's have a less spending policy. dem's want to spend more. gas in my town is now below $2.30.
jobs are cut, plants are shut down, promises of payouts to non taxpayers have been made (which might support them for a week only). no more truckss that america is making. more imports of foreign small cars.
have you ever been to europe? it's nice, but you probably live here instead of there because it was better.
sadly- i guess that's the point: you don't know what you are going to get, and don't care
Re: sweetpiece – oh, so you think i'm that melissa's always right whore? oh no baby, she was an obamanite. i don't know where the hell she went……..
oh, and the "b on the face" rhetoric is kind of, well, weak. Try again.
BM you know I've posted my share of facts. You always use the same argument.
What facts are you posting about McCain? Why would you vote for someone who has stated himself, he is poor when it comes to the economy!
.
How long did it take him to come up with a plan for the economy? FOR FUCKING EVER! He keeps vacillating! Wow, what a poor leader. Too bad he doesn't have Warren Buffet helping him. Oh, he has Todd. TODD HATES AMERICA! HE READ PALIN'S EMAILS AND ANSWERED THEM FOR HER. SARAH FUCKS TODD! SARAH IS AN AMERICA HATER FUCKER.
.
Yes, I've said it before. But it is true and needs repeating.
Re: bigguy – um, you're dumb. Sorry, it's just that your post is SO overtly retarded that I don't really know what to say.
Are you friends with sweetpeice? Ya'll should hook up. You are both about the same IQ, and she really needs a good screwing.

ENJOY!
watching cnn still (lib media). obama is on talking about "bush's economy" and how mccain supports the same.
the congress controls the money and your next congress will be the same one. this is the biggest failure EVER of a congress to do anything beneficial wiht your tax money.
they failed you on school systems, on wall street, and in supporting bush's surge in the mid east (which worked, and would have worked better if he had support from congress).
this will be the same congress that you will get with obama. his "change" comments are ridiculous.
oh yeah- he just said that you should not watch cable news shows. i'm watching his supporter cnn that he said this on.
he wants to destroy this country by destroying your opportunities and rights.
when you woke up this am, did you expect that obama should be able to tell you what tv shows you can watch? well you should get used to it if not.
living and being from texas im ashamed…because of texans like them…this is so ridiculous…people need to grow up
Re: spawniecat – Actually he IS NOT Muslim you idiot
Oh and Mrs. B, I've been getting all the screwing I can handle for the last 8 years by your guys in office now. Bush, Cheney, Rove…..
.
I am not a masochist as you seem to be. I do not enjoy pain.

I do not enjoy seeing America be the laughing stock of the world!

I do not enjoy seeing my countrymen loose their hard earned life savings when the fat fuck CEO's pockets are bulging!
.
I do not enjoy seeing America's brave soldiers getting blown to bits from an illegal war. Not to mention the innocent Iraqi citizens that are collateral damage.
.
When Bush failed to respond properly after 9/11, I was disgusted.
When Bush failed to respond speedily to Katrina, I was appalled!

MCCAIN WILL BE MORE OF THE SAME!
re: sweetpiece
Changing our identities?? Sounds like a big ol conspiracy theory to me! And because you think McCain is "a heartbeat away" is REASON ENOUGH to vote for O is what I consider most pathetic of all.
I LEAVE NOW! YOU HATERS HAVE YOUR FUCKFEST! YOUR IGNORANCE WILL BE THE RUIN OF THIS GREAT COUNTRY!

MCCAIN REMAINS THE UNCHANGED! Voted with Bush 90%. Nothing will change.

Re: Bluebonnet – Dam….there are some defensive Texans on here!!! Stereotyping is never good and not all Texans are stupid and racist….just a lot of them.
He's not muslim?
Re: sweetpiece – Oh, and they're not my guys. I'm an independent. BUT, I pick McCain the Same over Obama any day. Obama is going to FUCK US ALL, including you delusional asswhipes, if he wins, you'll see, you'll weep and complain, and we will LAUGH!
for real….he's not muslim?
thanks for clarifying!!!!
shit….that was the only reason
i wasn't going to vote for him
.
.
PS. 23% isn't MOST texans you dumb twit
Mrs B,
Where are your facts about McCain? Today's plan for the economy? Still waiting..
I'll be back in a couple of hours.
That should be plenty of time for your lies to fill this blog.
.
Loser! Tee Hee! Wink! Freeways! Tee hee!
Re: LusciousLiz – Probably because the Democratic Party is generally a big government, pro socialized institutions, pro welfare, pro "redistribution of wealth", you get the picture. So it's easy to assume that if one votes Democrat, they are probably pro all the same. Human nature. What would make a person "for" the whole redistribution of wealth thing, for example. Well, one could assume it's because they need it. They need the government to subsidize their lives. It's an assumption, it's not right, but hell, we're all human aren't we. We make assumptions everyday.
who fucking cares if he is???? I mean I obviously don't like him… but Gosh this is old!!!
…. Vote McCain/Palin 08'!!! No on Prop 8!!!! xoxo
Re: sweetpiece – I guess you probably have a hard time reading. Oh well, ,maybe Obama can help you with that. Freeways?? You and your freeways and b's on the face should take a hike. You make no damn sense half the time.
Not THIS Texan!!!!
Obama '08!
I'm from Texas and everyone I know is voting for Obama. We're not all racist hicks. My relatives in Michigan are far more conservative than most people I know in Texas. They must have interviewed everyone that watches Fox news.
Well, 85% of Americans think Texans are ignorant rednecks.
Re: LusciousLiz – Hey Lady!!!! I can tell you why, I am a Texas girl, and once again, there are TOO MANY people ragging Texans!! As if 23% were the majority. I think there are unintelligent people all over the country, certainly not just in Texas. You are so right! Stereotyping is never a good idea! We're not really all racist hillbillies, I promise!
And his "AUNTI" is an illegal alien who is living in an 'American' public housing unit.

Re: JuneGordon – Too bad for that ignorant 85%!!
Not surprising. 95% of Harlem voters think Palin is Obama's running mate!
Just goes to show you people or going to vaote for Obama because he's black.
Idiots
It sickens me that someone would even consider judging someone on their religion.
I'm sick of the "I'm not voting for Obama because he's a Muslim"
People need to grow up and realize that being a Muslim does not mean your a terrorist
Re: Debaucherina –
How is this loose connection SCARIER than the FACT that McCAIN voted BUSH 90% of the time? Who are McCain's SOLID connections with? BUSH AND CHENNEY!! How is this scarier than the fact that NOT regulating the market has ended in an ecomonomic situation that rivals the GREAT DEPRESSION? How is the media at fault here? He's ran an INSPIRING grass roots campaign on principals that call us to a more responsible ownership of our country. That is a lot more appealing than the corrupt, non-focused, HATE_MONGERING campaign that McCain and the Vigina are running.
How sad is it when FOX NEWS (clearly on the right) can't defend McCain's tactics? Good luck spreading your ignorance, but this whole situation is 100% the fault of BUSH supporters and while IRONY is lost on you, the REST OF US
will be uniting to change the world.
And what % of Texan's are ILLEGAL? Isn't it odd that the only reason it's an issue is because of Saddam Hussain? And didn't WE put that crazy man in power? So essentially we CREATED the negative connotation to the name Hussain, and now we are holding Obama responsible for a name he was BORN into and had NO negativity associated with it when his mother chose it. Jesus,
get over yourself!
I sure hope a man with the last name BUSH runs for any public office anytime soon. Doesn't get much more negative than that!!!
What a bunch of ignorant boobs.
I grew up in Dearborn Mi…the largest Arab Population outside of the Middle East. I am very familiar with their life style and their religious beliefs. They are teachers, lawyers, accountants, students and Armed Servicemen. They believe in the American Dream, they support the economy and they participate in American politics. How sad it is that this group of people have to be slapped in the face by the ignorance that all Muslims are bad. I bet they have more faith in God (Allah) than half those bible toting biggots will ever have. Oh and BTW some crazy McCain/Satin supporter refused to give candy to kids becuz their parents are going to vote for Obama. Is nothing sacred from this Satin's (palen) hatred driven campaign?
IT'S NOT LIKE IT'S A SURPRISE OR ANYTHING. THEY'RE AS CLOSED MINDED AS THEY ARE STUPID.
I want to see his barbecue and chicken and waffles crack parties, then maybe I would vote for him. haha
Re: mc2too – Love it…scary thing is most of the Obama supporters know nothing of his contacts, they have just decided to take the word of the most liberal democrat around and believe his "talking circles". This country is in for disaster if that guy gets in and the few that actually work will not have jobs.
Ya , and 100 percent of the rest of the world think Texans are ignorant
inbreds with 6th grade education, bad accents, and teen pregnancy/abortion/shotgun marriage rates off the charts.
if two people from Texas get divorced, are they still brother and sister?
No, I am aware that not all democrats are on welfare. But all of those on welfare VOTE democratic. And No, I am not feeling defeated. Conservatives lost this election back in March.

Lots of Texans are ignorant white trash who are republicans so I'm not surpried. Vote
Re: straighticketvoter – I was about to say the same thing…..
It's SOOOO sad that there are so many RepubliKKKans on such a liberal website. I guess you have to feel sorry for them. They know they're pathetic/uneducated/losers. Ashley Todd and these Texans are representatives of the "type" of people who support Republicans: ignorant dumbasses.
VOTE OBAMA/BIDEN 08 VOTE NO ON 8 OBAMA,ARNOLD,AND FEINSTEIN SAY VOTE NO ON 8 ALL SILICON VALLEY CEOS SAY VOTE NO ON 8 ALL DECENT PEOPLE ARE VOTING NO ON 8 STOP THE REPUBLICAN MORMON HATE VOTE NO ON 8 STEVE YOUNG AND HIS WFE BARBARA HAVE A NO ON 8 SIGN IN FRONT OF THEIR HOUSE AND HAVE DONATED 50,000 TO NO ON 8 ,SO SOMEE MORMONS ARE DECENT,SOME VOTE NO ON 8
l live in the only Democratic county in Texas (Travis county, which includes Austin), but even so, I hardly EVER see people wearing Obama t-shirts. I work with TONS of strangers every day in retail, and for every 90 McCain/Palin (or even just plain PALIN) t-shirts I see, there seems to be only 1 person wearing an Obama shirt. Texas is full of lots of old people who grew up in small towns and don't know anything about how the world works. I'm actually surprised that the percentage of people who think Obama is Muslim isn't higher. It's all about fear, though - all these small town people don't like change…. in any way, shape, or form. That is why they cling to the Republican party.
Obama 08!!!
Oh, and for those of you questioning Obama's courage to stand up to people who oppose him? Think about this: He is the first African American to ever run for the presidency of the United States, which has plenty of people who won't vote for him because of the color of his skin. He has more security surrounding him at all times than any other presidential candidate in history, because of the ridiculous amount of death threats he has received. Now, why do you think he is he not courageous and determined enough?
Re: LusciousLiz – Like the person who commented right below you……seriously, do people think that Texas is just where all the white trash racists happen to flock? Please, I know lots of people who are voting for Obama, and I don't know ANY racists, all my personal friends are educated thinking individuals. Whichever side they may be on, Lib or Conserv. It's so annoying…..have you noticed the closer we get to election day the more hateful this place gets!!!!!!! Once again, I am glad to have my Democrat friend here that I can carry on actual conversations with!!!
