A new AP poll finds that 18%, or almost one out of every five Americans, believe President Barack Obama is Jewish, up from zero in 2010. The poll, conducted August 30 – September 11, also found 10% of Americans believe the President is Muslim, 35% believe he has “no religion,” and 28% refused to answer.
The President has often stated he is a Christian.
There is no religious test for eligibility to hold the office of President, nor should there be.
The same poll (PDF) also found 67% of Americans rightly identified Mitt Romney’s faith as Mormon. 26% answered “don’t know,” and, by comparison, only 2% “refused to answer.”
77% claimed either candidates’ religion has “no effect” on whether they would vote for them.

Well, it looks like the "Muslim" meme is losing traction. Except with the likes of Bryan Fischer.
WHO are these people interviewing??? I have never received a call or mailer for this!
And of course most the people that answer Mormon for that idiot Romney believe he's mormon, he's probably married to them!
