And only 93 pct of Democrats believe that he was born in the USA. Why not 100 percent?

When major conservative media figures like Rush Limbaugh and certain politicians keep pretending that he wasn't born in the USA, they keep the falsehood alive. What does it say about our gullible American public that believes those stories? Why is it so easy to deceive?

I think the tougher question is how many people does this drive out of the process. I know lots of conservatives who have simply lost faith in both sides. They have always been suspicious of the left, but they don't buy the Sean Hannity/Rush Limbaugh crapp either (how can anyone listen to Rush ? He never says anything).
