Hi
Might as well use up my 3 postings for today. If you insert 0 for Jewish and
move everything down one row, then column adds to 100%. See last row I've
added below.
The main surprise perhaps is that Obama's true religion (Protestant?) has
increased only slightly and Catholic, Muslim, and Other (all wrong?) have
increased about the same amount.
Has there really been that little attention to Obama's religious practices in
the US, or does this reflect displaced prejudice due to his race? That is,
"I'm not voting for Obama because of his religion, rather than his race." If
you look at many of the more sensitive questions on the survey, the greater
number of people in 2012 who Refused to answer is striking.
Take care

Hi
Looking more closely, I believe the 2012 column may displaced upwards
by a row starting with the Jewish row. The value of 18% should be on
the Muslim row and so on. Then the figures generally correspond to
2012. See below (if formatting works ok!).
Barack Obama
2010 2012 2012corrected?
Protestant 26 28 28
Catholic 4 5 5
Mormon 0 0 0
Jewish 0 18 0
Muslim 17 10 18
Other religion 8 2 10
No religion 2 35 2
Don*t know 41 2 35
No Answer 1 28 2
So perhaps we do not know the Jewish figure and the No Answer is bogus
(perhaps the Protestant repeated??).
Take care

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

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.
