  Yes, that 57% was meaningful, when the subject group is given
 only one choice. That is the same response you get when a right
 winger stands up there and calls Obama a Muslim. Only when you
 start with a biased audience, like the tea baggers, you get a
 much higher response. Which is exemplified by the fact that the
 general response to the Muslim questin was 32% yes. The 57% yes
 was of the Republican respondents.

 Does that count the 9 people arrested for seditious conspiracy,
 in that they planned to launch a terror campaign against the
 police, as part of their war... err... Jihad... against the US
 Govt led by the Anti-Christ?

 All you did in your complaint was to highlight the fact that
 those who call Obama "Hussain" are just playing the same game
 your legitimate pollster referred to, putting out the one word
 and relying on the "acquiescence" bias.

 Thanks for providing the evidence.
