Several pundits have said perhaps the only upshot of all the attention on Barack Obama’s fire-breathing Chicago pastor is that now everyone should know that he’s a Christian, not the closet Muslim many seem to think he is.
A new poll shows some success on that front, but 1 in 10 Americans still think he’s a Muslim.
Fourteen percent of Republicans, 10 percent of Democrats and 8 percent of independents mistakenly think he is Muslim, according to a survey by the nonpartisan Pew Research Center. Just over half of each group correctly identified him as Christian, while about a third said they don’t know his religion.
