Obama, the anti-Christ? One in 4 Americans thinks so

About one in four Americans suspect that President Barack Obama might be the antichrist, a new poll has found.

The survey conducted by Public Policy Polling found that 13 per cent of Americans thought Obama was 'the anti-christ'; while another 13 per cent were 'not sure'.

Some 73 per cent of people out rightly said that they did not think Obama was 'the anti-christ'.

According to the Guardian, the poll also revealed that 37 per cent of Americans thought that global warming was a hoax, while 12 per cent were not sure and a slim majority, 51 percent, agreed with the overwhelming majority view of the scientific establishment and thought that it was not.

The survey also revealed that 28 per cent of people believed in a sinister global New World Order conspiracy, aimed at ruling the whole world through authoritarian government.

The poll found that another 25 per cent were 'not sure' and only a minority of American voters, 46 percent, thought such a conspiracy theory was not true.

The survey was carried out in order to explore how voters' political beliefs impact on their willingness to embrace conspiracy theories -- it did indeed find that the partisan divide that is blamed for many problems in Washington DC also extends to the world of paranoia, aliens and Sasquatch, the report said.

...

For example, when it comes to thinking global warming is a hoax some 58 per cent of Republicans agreed and 77 per cent of Democrats disagreed.

While 20 per cent of Republicans believed Obama is the anti-Christ heralding the End Times, only 13 per cent of independents did and just six per cent of Democrats.
