Why is belief that President Obama wasn’t born in the United States and thus ineligible to be chief executive stronger in the South than in other areas of the Country? I know the racism thing is an attractive explanatory reach, but could it be better explained by levels of political polarization, education or political culture? It would be interesting to compare this data with regional breakdowns of the belief that the Clinton’s killed Vince Foster and were running a drug cartel out of Arkansas.
