According to the poll, 17 percent of the Americans who participated in the poll – all of whom are registered voters – considered that Obama is a Muslim, and 49% of them said he is a Christian, while 31% of them unaware of the religious believe of president Obama.

Moreover, the results of the poll showed a decline in the number of Americans who believe that Obama is a Muslim from year 2010, where the percentage dropped from 19% to 17% nowadays, but the percentage has increased significantly among the Conservatives and Republicans by 34%.

This poll also included the same questions about the religious believe and background of the Republican Party nominee to the White House, Mitt Romney, who belongs to a religious group that is commonly called Mormons which is related to Mormonism – a religious minority that is followed only by 1.7% of the Americans, with 76% of them live in the western states of the US and are mostly concentrated in Utah, where they form 58% of the total population of this state.

The questions about Mitt Romney’s religion showed that more Americans know that Mitt Romney is Mormon. In the Poll, 60 percent of the participants have correctly answered the question about his religion, while 9 percent said “other” and 31 percent answered that they didn’t know what his religion is.

Sixty percent of those who said he was a Mormon were comfortable with his religion, 21 percent didn’t care and 19 percent were uncomfortable.
