POLL: Most Republicans Still Believe That
Iraq Had WMD | A new poll conducted by Dartmouth
government professor Benjamin Valentino found that 63 percent of Republican
respondents still believe that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction when the
United States invaded in 2003, even though this assertion has been thoroughly debunked. In comparison, only 27 percent of independents and less
than 15 percent of Democrats believed in the misinformation. Additionally, 64
percent of Republican respondents believe that President Obama was born in
another country. As the Huffington Post’s Dan Froomkin notes, “this latest poll result seems to indicate a refusal —
unique to the modern Republican Party — to acknowledge facts.”
