Apparently, 23% of Texans think Obama is a Muslim.
What do the other 77% think he is? Hindu?
A University of Texas poll to be released today shows Republican presidential candidate John McCain and GOP Sen. John Cornyn leading by comfortable margins in Texas, as expected. But the statewide survey of 550 registered voters has one very surprising finding: 23 percent of Texans are convinced that Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama is a Muslim.Obama is a Christian who was embroiled in a controversy earlier this year about his two-decade membership in Chicago's Trinity United Church of Christ. Yet just 45 percent of those polled identified the Illinois senator as a Protestant.
If 23% of Texans think Obama is a Muslim, how many of them mistakenly think the Houston Chronicle is a legitimate and reliable source of news?

There was a lot of Internet email claiming Obama was a Muslim. It would seem some of it was effective.....
