What is small-town America saying about Obama? For one thing:
According to a survey in July by the Pew Research Center, 12 percent of Americans still believed Obama was a Muslim — even after the long Democratic primary battle that was covered heavily in the national media. Among rural Americans, 19 percent still believed he was a Muslim.

Well I’m somewhat more optimistic: a healthy %age of those who thought he was muslim (I believe 36%ish) said they would still vote for him despite his religion. I think its progress.
