| Description | It's been five months since President Obama produced a detailed birth certificate proving he was born in Hawaii. And yet a new poll out of Winthrop University shows one in three South Carolina Republicans still believe Obama was not born in the U.S.
The reason people around the country pay any attention to these polls of South Carolina Republicans is because the state holds an important early primary election for candidates who want to be president. So this latest poll showing a full 36 percent of South Carolina Republicans - and those who lean Republican - still think Obama was born in another country, has elicited some guffaws from national analysts.
But Winthrop's Scott Huffmon says the result is "not necessarily just about people truly believing whether (the President) was born on American soil or not."
"It's really looking for an additional way to express dissatisfaction with somebody they don't like," says Huffmon. |
