Most Americans Are Ready For A Muslim President

Interesting that less than half of Americans would vote for a socialist (even in a rigged poll?) despite all the propaganda promoting socialism.

im not sure its that low of a number. The United States is changing for the worse due to the voting patterns.

I'd rather have a Socialist president before a Muslim president.

Like everything, there are good muslims and bad. a person of any faith that puts their faith above the laws or the well being of the people or country is not a good choice. Political platforms or ideas the same. It is not what the person is but what they are willing to do and can they persuade the majority of their convictions for what is best of the whole country, not just the few.

The best politician would be a cross between a great salesman and someone with a fantastic product but that can work within the law.

If they are trying to sell a lousy idea, or they can't sell their great idea to the country..........or if they need to skirt the law to get the job done.....

(RNS) A recently released Gallup poll found “tidal shifts” over the past 60 years in Americans’ willingness to support a well-qualified black, female, Catholic or Jewish candidate for president.

But the study also found that 60 percent of Americans would be willing to vote for a president who was a “generally well-qualified person who happened to be Muslim.”

“If the 60 percent is to be used as a proxy of acceptance of Muslims, I am encouraged by an upward trajectory,” wrote Saud Anwar, the mayor of South Windsor, Conn., and that state’s first Muslim mayor.

Anwar said he believes that “religious labels are less critical” at the local level, where “people have a better opportunity to know a candidate and thus vote based on capacity to do the job and performance.”

In national elections, he said, “the labels may become more important for people.”

The good news is that young people are more willing to vote for a Muslim presidential candidate — 76 percent of 18- to 29-year-olds would, as would 67 percent of 30- to 49-year-olds, according to the poll.

The higher youth numbers she attributes to the likelihood they have had direct daily interactions with a Muslim at work or school.

Although I don't expect to see a Muslim U.S. president in the near future - 60% is an interesting upward trend for acceptance and support of one.

What the fuck is this bullshit?.....Wow....I suppose we're ready for a trans sexual POTUS. How about a Down's Syndrome POTUS.....
Hey, I have an idea. Lets throw out all of the laws and rules we now have and make EVERY election about demographic identity.
Hell, I think the country is ready for a homeless POTUS.....
You are one fucked up individual.

The dimwitocrats should run one.

That's not exactly what the link says, but still 60% surprises me.

I'd REALLY like to find out who was asked. And to see the questions And I'd like to know who did the asking.
I son't think I'm going out on a limb by guessing this poll had well crafted questions with the purpose of producing a predetermined result.

My guess is that a vast gap exists between the findings of that poll and Reality.
