Kentucky Blue

Here in the Bluegrass State, turns out only just over half of us believe the President was born in the U.S. while 20 percent are firmly in the birther category, 29 percent are unsure.

“While 94 percent of black respondents said they think Obama was born in the United States, only 45 percent of white respondents were certain that he was born here.” The Lexington Herald-Reader reports, “Investigations by numerous media outlets, including the Pulitzer Prize-winning PolitiFact service of the St. Petersburg Times, have determined that Obama was born in Hawaii.”

Among Democrats, 72 percent said Obama was born in America. Nine percent answered no and 19 percent weren't sure.

Among Republicans, 30 percent said they think the president was born in the United States, 36 percent said they think he was born elsewhere and 34 percent were not sure.

Yep, that means we've actually got worse overall birther numbers than North Carolina, but the state's Republicans are slightly better informed, there's just a lot fewer Democrats to raise the average. There's a cheery thought.
