Islamic State: Huge majority support ISIS in Arab world, shock poll finds | World | News | Daily Express
Why focus on important things like that when they can run an entire campaign based on cheap propaganda.

Lol, when the "uneducated and ignorant Republicans" poll is debunked once it's pointed out just who constitutes the Democrats' base, the bigoted pollsters try another one.

The Root?

A Democrap hit piece from some third tier practice squad web site named after a male penis. Interesting reading habits OP.


From the actual poll

Quote:
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.

Trump's supporters aren't alone in those attitudes though. Only among supporters of John Kasich (58/13), Jeb Bush (56/18), Chris Christie (59/33), and Marco Rubio (42/30) are there more people who think President Obama was born in the United States than that he wasn't. And when you look at whose supporters are more inclined to think that the President is a Christian than a Muslim the list shrinks to just Christie (55/29), Kasich (41/22), and Bush (29/22). Bush's inability to appeal to the kind of people who hold these beliefs is what's keeping him from succeeding in the race- his overall favorability is 39/42, and with voters identifying themselves as 'very conservative' it's all the way down at 33/48.

The Root has more credibility and integrity than the self proclaimed white only news/media outlets Breitbart, The Blaze, and Fox News.. I knew you were going to attempt to discredit the news website so I linked the source polling data directly.

There is a problem with illegal immigration. But believing so doesn't make one racist. Did you see the other things Trump's supporters believe? Once you start putting two and two together the data is telling..

Black person going on picnic + rainy day = mother nature is racist

The polling data doesn't say what "The Root" interpreted" in any way, nobody with half a brain believes they have any credibility or integrity.
