Hmm. Assuming that you are correct this is just 10% of the US population and only 25% of the people who voted in 2012.

So your own math proves you wrong about the 65%.

exactly how does estimating that about 22% of US registered voters are birthers contradicts a poll that that 61% ( not 65% ) of republican trump supporters are birthers?

please explain how the math proves me wrong.

Question New Poll: Birthers and Bigots Fill Trump Supporters’ Ranks

It looks like there is confirmation for what we have expected all along..

Quote:
Fresh data (pdf) from Public Policy Polling confirms what we suspected all along, despite the delusional denial of the Trump rank and file: Love for “the Donald” is about much more than the flamboyant business mogul’s uncooperative hair. What’s driving Trump’s rise in the polls, PPP suggests, is a creepy racist edge grown from two terms of persistent obsession with the black president’s birthplace and a redneck-blooded aversion to foreigners.

Democrats should focus on the poll that shows majority of Arab Muslims support ISIS, instead of focusing on polls that are meaningless like whether people think Obama is a Muslim or born in Kenya.

Another shallow attempted hit piece. A democratic aligned pollster chocked with racial components.. Somehow I get the feeling this will only bolster the Donalds lead. Keep up the good work, The Donald feeds on negative bs
