The birthers have done a very good job of spreading their suspicion, unfortunately.
The conspiracy has a regional flavor. Overall, even including Democrats and independents, only 47 percent of respondents in the South said they believed Obama was born in America, with 23 percent saying he was not and 30 percent saying they were unsure. In the Northeast and Midwest, the percentage of respondents who believe Obama was born in the U.S. was over 90 percent.

I hope the birthing thing raging on for the GOP, what a great distractor for the already fractured party...
When fear and hate are you prime motivation for living, as is the case for the vast majority of reactionaries aka "conservatives"-you brain becomes non-functional from all the poison in your system.
I'm liberal and think this poll is silly. I have plenty of conservative friends/colleagues etc and not one of them believes this birther nonsense. It's just plain silly.
