Guess How Many Republicans Believe President Barack Obama Loves America?
Not many Republicans believe the President loves his country – how do they compare to the rest on the nation?
In a new poll released Tuesday, about one in ten Republicans – just 11 percent – believes President Barack Obama loves America. 69 percent believe the President does not.
That news comes in the wake of last week’s attack on the President by Rudy Giuliani, who pointedly stated, “I do not believe that the president loves America.” The former New York City mayor went on to add, “He doesn’t love you. And he doesn’t love me. He wasn’t brought up the way you were brought up and I was brought up through love of this country.”Â
In contrast, 85 percent of Democrats believe President Obama loves America. 42 percent of Independents do as well, but 38 percent do not. In total, 47 percent of those polled agree the President loves his country, and slightly more than one in three, 35 percent, believe he does not.
Pointing the lens the other way, “liberals (13%) are more likely than either moderates (5%) or conservatives (4%) to say that they do not love America,” the YouGov poll states. “90% of conservatives say that they love America, compared to 85% of moderates and 82% of liberals.”
