Americans have some extreme views of President Obama, with a new controversial survey suggesting that 40 percent of adults believe he is a socialist, and about a quarter of survey participants thinking the president is a racist, anti-American and even doing things Hitler did.


The whammy: 14 percent of Americans say President Barack Obama may be the Antichrist. When split by political party, 24 percent of Republicans and 6 percent of Democrats viewed the nation's leader in this way.


The results come from an online Harris Poll involving 2,320 adults who were surveyed online between March 1 and March 8 by Harris Interactive, a market research firm. Respondents were read each of 15 statements and asked whether they thought they were true or false. The sample of people was selected from among roughly 4 million people who agreed to participate in Harris Interactive surveys and are given "modest incentives," according to Harris. The results were then weighted to reflect the composition of the U.S. adult population. [Infographic Compares Views]

When broken out by political party, results showed some stark differences. For instance, the majority of Republicans believed the president is a Muslim and a socialist, while around 40 percent believe he is a racist, someone who resents American heritage and "wants terrorists to win."

Are you implying that 1/4 of Republicans are un-american?

I am implying that in most polls like this I see, no matter what the question, at least 15% of Americans will say or believe anything. Could be alien abductions, could be that the US Government blew up the World Trade center, could be that OBama is the Anti Christ. 15% is always a good number

Aw come on, that's just bunk - there's no way that 15% of Americans have a favorable view of the educational system in South Carolina - there just aren't that many South Carolinans to ask.

But those who take that sort of thing seriously (at least one other president was purported to be the Antichrist), forget one very important thing: Obama has an African background. All the Antichrist prophecies state that the background of the Antichrist will be Eastern Europe. As bad as Obama is, and as much as his policies at least on the face of them are against Christians, he CANNOT be the Antichrist.
