23% of Texans Still Think Obama is a Muslim
A poll compiled by the University of Texas has it that 23% of Texans think Presidential candidate Barack Obama is a Muslim. Only 45% correctly identified the Democratic nominee as Protestant.
National polls typically show an ignorance level of 5 to 10% on this issue and this may go some way to explain Rep presidential candidate John McCain and GOP Sen. John Cornyn's comfortable lead in the same poll.
The belief that Obama is a Muslim stems principally from internet rumours and gossip on radio talk shows. Some GOP supporters have gone so far as to believe that the Democrat leader is an Arab.
