New Poll Reveals the Answers You’ve Been Looking For

CluelessHave you ever wished you could shine a light on public ignorance? Have you ever wanted a way to quantify just how many Americans are basically tuned-out and clueless on the major issues in the public square?

If you ever have, this is your chance.

LifeNews reports on a Gallup poll which found a staggering 42% of Americans did not know Barack Obama is pro-abortion.

Looking further into the new Pew Research center poll on abortion, the survey reveals that a substantial percentage of Americans don’t know that President Barack Obama has a strong pro-abortion position and record. The poll found 42 percent of Americans are unaware.

The poll finds that four-in-ten Americans are unaware of Obama’s position on abortion, although pro-life advocates are most well-informed — which is a testimony to the work of pro-life organizations.

On the other hand, independent voters and abortion advocates are less informed that Obama has been stridently pro-abortion.

While just 25 percent of conservative Republicans and 36 percent of moderate Republicans don’t know Obama is pro-abortion, 42 percent of independents and 51 percent of conservative and moderate Democrats don’t know. Some 32 percent of liberal Democrats know Obama backs abortion.

How can you have been awake for more than a few days at a time over the last year and a half and not know Barack Obama is pro-abortion???

If you have plenty of time, take a look at all the pieces little Dakota Voice has done that contain the word “Obama” and “abortion in them. And other much larger sources of information covered it even more than we did here.

Barack Obama is so pro-abortion, he even vehemently argued in favor of infanticide, of killing innocent children who managed to evade the abortionist’s efforts and were born alive.  In the Illinois senate, he strongly defended the practice of putting these newborn babies (who survived an attempt to kill them in the womb) in a linen closet until they just died.

And the man Obama chose to be his science advisor, John Holdren, doesn’t even think newborn children are even human, that they aren’t deserving of the same rights and protections as every other human being.

If you’ve ever wondered how ultra-liberals like Barack Obama can get elected in a country once known for its commitment to freedom and moral values, the ignorance displayed in this poll is the answer you’ve been looking for.

It’s also why, if you are a normal American who talks of patriotism, Constitutional authority, solid moral values, right & wrong, history, and our American heritage…approximately 42% of your fellow Americans don’t have the foggiest idea of what you’re talking about.

(The only question left unanswered for me is this: how many of this clueless 42% could rattle off all sorts of details about who won American Idol and Survivor last season?)

    This is simply another example of a failed forth estate. The news media is "in the tank" for the Obamanation and will do or say nothing to make him look bad.
    Add to this our failing public education system that teaches WHAT to think rather than HOW to think and you have what you see here.
