12 percent say he's a Christian.

36 percent are not sure.

Indefensible.

 

[Mizzougrad96]

Only 52?

Same poll: 60% don't 'believe' in evolution.

Not really a shock. But you wonder if it undercuts their argument against Obama that their "reality" is so skewed.
And this is a state that used to test voters before they could vote?

There's a reason Mississippi consistently ranks dead last in math and science in the U.S.

Or as the good people of Mississippi would call it: First.

West Virginia just a shade above Mississippi.

Likely reason is limited Asian population.

Do keep in mind from the teacher thread a few weeks back that good liberals are not supposed to use standardized tests as a measure of intelligence.

Mitt Romney: America would be better off if its government were run more like the government in Mississippi.

Mississippi just better hope Memphis doesn't get casinos. That would be about half the state's revenue gone.

 

[Ace]

I weep for the 48 percent in Mississippi.

But Mississippi is what Wisconsin, Illinois and other UNION!!!!!!!!!!!! states should aspire to be.

To be fair, I'm not sure how many of them would believe in evolution either.

And the 'Obama is a Muslim' thing is pervasive, too.

So let's not go too hard on the south without holding North Dakota accountable, too.

Mississippi takes a bad rap for a lot of crap. Yes, the state has problems but much of it comes from the perception others have it.
As for this Obama being a Muslim, I'm sorry to say that many people in the great state - like many in other states - don't have any idea what a Muslim is.

65% thinks pepper spray is a vegetable.

and 60 % think it's a condiment in a can.

72 percent think a condiment is a small condom.

Mississippi is West Virginia's favorite state.
