I think the better question would be where do conservatives/Republicans actually learn this stuff? Could it be that they watch a bias conservative news source, or worse yet, listen to the repulsive Glen Beck? Hmmm?

Mallory,

What this poll says about Republicans doesn't matter.  It's what the Independants think that terrifies the Dems and, for good reason.

"I was just looking at a Harris poll which says 2/3 of Republicans think President Obama is a socialist, 57% that he's a Muslim and 24% "say he may be the Anti-christ". Those are scary numbers."

Those ARE scary numbers - they add up to over 147%. How can that be?

Let me answer your question before you say that NO ONE answers. The troubling aspects of nobama - to me - are his anti-capitalist ideals which he displays more and more. This is not the candidate that "independants" voted for and they are the majority of persons comprising the tea party.

I'm with these guys, at the least:

WASHINGTON (AP) - America's "Great Compromiser" Henry Clay called government "the great trust," but most Americans today have little faith in Washington's ability to deal with the nation's problems.

Public confidence in government is at one of the lowest points in a half century, according to a survey from the Pew Research Center. Nearly 8 in 10 Americans say they don't trust the federal government and have little faith it can solve America's ills, the survey found.

The survey illustrates the ominous situation President Barack Obama and the Democratic Party face as they struggle to maintain their comfortable congressional majorities in this fall's elections. Midterm prospects are typically tough for the party in power. Add a toxic environment like this and lots of incumbent Democrats could be out of work.

The survey found that just 22 percent of those questioned say they can trust Washington almost always or most of the time and just 19 percent say they are basically content with it. Nearly half say the government negatively affects their daily lives, a sentiment that's grown over the past dozen years.

This anti-government feeling has driven the tea party movement, reflected in fierce protests this past week."
