The big story splashed around the media for the last day has been the poll in which 20% of Americans said that Obama was a Muslim. The uproar from this has been major. Writers at the Washington Post lamented how stupid Americans are. the White House spokesman has commented on this. Well, you get the picture.
None of this is very surprising, however. Has anyone ever commented on the poll results when people are asked to identify people like Joe Biden? Do you know how many people in this country cannot identify who Biden is? (For those of you who are in that group, he is the Vice president of the United States, and one would think that his identity would be better known than Obama's religion.) The last polls results I saw had 16% of respondents did not know who Biden is.
