America Online is conducting a new poll asking readers whether they believe there is any merit to the controversy surrounding Barack Obama's citizenship – and most respondents say "yes."
There are more than 90,000 national votes in the unscientific survery. A full 52 percent of nationwide respondents believe people should be concerned about Obama's citizenship, 42 percent say the controversy has no merit and 6 percent of voters remain undecided.
In all, 44 states agree that there could be merit to the Obama citizenship controversy.
TRENDING: To DEI for
Among voters who said Obama's citizenship shouldn't be an issue, represented by 6 yellow states, an average only 50 percent of those states' respondents sided with Obama.
However, Washington, D.C., overwhelmingly sided with Obama – with 71 percent voting to drop the issue.
On a similar note, WND poll asked readers, "Are you satisfied Obama is constitutionally eligible to assume the presidency?" A full 97 percent of 6,000 voters said "no."
The top three answers were:
- No, if I can't get a driver's license without an original birth certificate, how can Obama become president without one?
- No, and Americans should continue to dog him about it through his term
- No, there's a reason why he's unwilling to disclose his original birth certificate
AOL readers posted comments under its poll results, including the following:
- No, I don't think it has any merit. A birth certificate was posted on his web site showing his birth in Hawaii and a story to go with it. Those who are keeping it alive are just sore losers.
- This could be put to rest with a $10 copy from the government, and yet Obama has spent somewhere between $500,000 and $800,000 to block this. Why does he waste taxpayers money on this foolishness.
- The birth certificate thing is just more racism under a smoke screen. You birthers can keep this going as long as you want with no results, just as the "Impeach Bush" folks never got anywhere for the past 8 years.
- Why spend thousands of dollars to block lawsuits that are requesting him to do what John McCain willfully and freely did?
- It's sad that every pathetic, Republican racist out there is clinging to the hope that President Obama is not a red-blooded, red, white and blue right down to his soxs American citizen! President Obama is a God given gift to America. He has a big job ahead of him ... cleaning up Bush's mess!
- Now isn't that interesting that the slime states of the left which are in the most trouble with their budgets are the ones who think this thug is real.
