Hi
The religion figures for 2012 are messed up. The figures for 2012 add up to
more than 100%, and there is no way that you would have 2% say No Religion in
2010 and 35% in 2012, with a reverse switch for Don't Know. If people were to
believe the 2012 No Religion figure, it would spell disaster for Obama given
the animus toward non-religious people in the USA. And the figures for Jewish
and No Answer increased markedly between 2010 and 2012. So something is wrong,
but not clear where.
Take care
Jim

Well, he *does* look Jewish if you're referring to Ethiopian Jews.
For background on Ethiopian Jews, see:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta_Israel
For images of Ethiopian Jews, see:

It's harder to make an argument that he is a Kenyan Jew though; see:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Jews_in_Kenya
And compare the images for Kenyan Jews:

Of course, this naturally leads to a particular question:

Subject: [tips] Racial Attitude of U.S. Voters
This web-based survey is an interesting mix of explicit attitude
processing (i.e., traditional questions about race) and implicit
processing (i.e., the affect
misatribution) although it is not clear in the final AP report how the
results from the implicit processing task was used. For the AP survey
results, see:
http://surveys.ap.org/data%5CGfK%5CAP_Racial_Attitudes_Topline_09182012.pdf
The Washington Post mentions that equations were developed to identify
which background factors would predict a person's voting for Obama or
Romney but there is minimal info about this. However, there is a
mention of how many votes Obama is losing because of his race. It
would be interesting to read a more traditional report instead of what
essentially is a long results section.
