20% of americans think obama is muslim
i read a bbc story about a poll showing that about 20 percent of americans think president obama is a muslim. among republicans, it's about one third who think so. there's also a correlation with approval. those who think obama is a muslim 'overwhelmingly disapprove' of his job performance, while most who think he's a christian approve of him.
this must have something to do with the fate of knowing. i wonder if people could ever have become so misinformed in the past, when the technology to disinform them was centralized.
meanwhile i am busy with a short film for a technology company, thru victor and an agency here. and i have a job to do for mbc in the same time frame.
