What’s weirder — that a political pollster asked New Jersey voters if they think Obama is the anti-Christ, or that 21 percent either say yes or are not sure?

Here’s the question put to 500 likely New Jersey voters from September 11th to 14th, by Public Policy Polling in Raleigh, NC:

Do you think Barack Obama is the Anti-Christ?

Yes ……………………………………………………….. 8%

No …………………………………………………………. 79%

Not Sure…………………………………………………. 13%

PPP also broke it down by party: 29% of Republicans said “yes” or “not sure” compared to 13% of Democrats.

To be fair, they should have asked the same question about a conservative figure, like Glenn Beck or Joe Wilson. That would have controlled for the people who say they’re “not sure” only to hedge their theological bets. And while they were at it, they could have asked whether people believe Obama was the messiah. That would have smoked out the crazies on the left.

According to PPP:

There is a fair amount of political extremism among New Jersey voters, as there is everywhere right now. 21% of voters in the state don’t think Barack Obama is a natural born US citizen and 19% believe George W. Bush had advance knowledge of 9/11. 8% of voters go so far as to say they think Barack Obama is the Anti-Christ.
