Nearly 1 in 5 Americans Thinks Obama Is Muslim, Survey Shows
By Lauren Green
A new survey reports a sharp increase in the number of Americans who,
incorrectly, say President Obama is a Muslim. The increase has occurred over
the last couple of years, and the poll was taken before the president stepped
into the fray of the Ground Zero mosque controversy.
The findings are part of the "Religion, Politics and the President" poll
conducted by the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life early this month. It
also explores Americans' attitudes toward religion's impact on society and
voting preferences in the upcoming 2010 congressional races.
According to the survey, nearly one in five Americans (18 percent) say Obama is
a Muslim, up from 11 percent in 2009. Obama is a Christian, but the number of
people say Christian when asked his religion has gone down sharply, from 51
percent in 2008 to 34 percent today. And 43 percent say they don't know what
religion the president follows.
Alan Cooperman, associate director of research for the Pew Forum, says, "I
think overall the picture that we see is of uncertainty and confusion about the
president and religion."
Cooperman also says, "When we simply ask people, 'Do you happen to know what is
Barak Obama's religion?' it is only one-third of Americans who say he is a
Christian. The largest single percentage, almost half of Americans, don't know
what religion he is."
The survey also found there was a clear link between how people viewed the
president's faith and how they viewed his political performance. Those who view
Obama as Christian tended to have a very positive assessment of his job
performance. Those who don't know his faith are split in their job approval
ratings. And those who say the president is a Muslim give him a negative job
approval rating.
But Dr. Clyde Wilcox, professor of government at Georgetown University, says
what is driving the president's sinking approval ratings is the economy. "If
the economy were resurrected from the dead like Lazarus, then you would see
less of this," he said.
Wilcox added that because of the viral nature of the Internet, any ideas, wrong
or right, about a politician's beliefs, can grow exponentially. Case in point:
Sarah Palin's conservative evangelical beliefs became raw meat for liberals
during her 2008 vice presidential campaign.
Two years later, a growing number of people see Obama as a Muslim.
"It's a troubling thing," Wilcox said. "I think it would be good for all of us
to stop invading the president's spiritual privacy. We don't know what anyone's
true faith is. It doesn't tell us about what their true core values are."
Cooperman speculates that people have more uncertainty about the president's
faith because he's been less upfront about how he practices his religion. He
doesn't attend church regularly, and there are no photos of him leaving a house
of worship on Sunday morning with a Bible in hand.
"We really haven't heard a lot, he's not very public since he took office. The
last time was the issue over Jeremiah Wright," Cooperman said.
Wright, the pastor of Trinity Baptist Church in Chicago, became a lightning rod
for controversy in the 2008 presidential campaign. Obama, a longtime member of
his church, distanced himself from Wright after snippets of sermon tapes
emerged of the pastor saying inflammatory comments about America.
The Pew study also found that though the Republican party is viewed as
friendlier toward religion than the Democratic party, both political camps lost
ground in that category. In 2008, 52 percent viewed Republicans as being
friendlier toward religion; today that number is down to 43 percent.
For Democrats, 2008 was a banner year. Their push to capture religious voters
helped them appear more faith friendly with 38 percent of the people polled.
But that number has slid to 26 percent today, back to where it was in 2006.
What this bodes for the 2010 midterm elections is hard to predict, Cooperman
says. Most Americans, 61 percent, still think it's important for members of
Congress to have strong religious beliefs, as compared to 34 percent who don't.
Reading the tea leaves from the 2008 results can help. Exit polling data from
that presidential election shows that the second biggest predictor for how
someone will vote is religion. The first is race.
