Virginia and North Carolina Ignorance

Some unbelievable results came out of a recent poll taken by the Public Policy Polling, a non-partisan polling group based in Raleigh, N.C. The Washington Post and Newsobserver.com both covered the poll shedding light on some numbers that some might find shocking.

The lie:

A poll done in Virginia showed that "of 579 likely voters queried between July 31 and Aug. 3, showed that 74 percent of those people who identified themselves as Democrats thought Mr. Obama was born in the United States, while 41 percent of those who said they did not think he was born in the United States were Republicans." -Source: Washington Times

A poll done in North Carolina showed that "Barely half of N.C. voters believe President Obama was born in the United States, according to a poll released Tuesday. Public Policy Polling surveyed 749 North Carolina voters Aug. 4-10, and found that 54 percent believe that Obama was born in the United States. Twenty-six percent of those surveyed said they do not believe Obama was born in the U.S., and 20 percent said they were not sure. The survey found that only 24 percent of Republican voters in North Carolina believe Obama was born in the U.S." Source- NewsObserver.com

The truth:

President Barack Obama was born on August 4, 1961 at the Kapi'olani Medical Center for Women & Children in Honolulu, Hawaii, United States, to Stanley Ann Dunham, an American of mainly English descent from Wichita, Kansas, and Barack Obama, Sr., a Luo from Nyang’oma Kogelo, Nyanza Province, Kenya.
