Poll: Only 43 Percent Say Trump Was 'Definitely' Born in the U.S. By Chris Good Just 43 percent of poll respondents say Donald Trump was definitely born in the U.S., according to a USA Today poll: For what it's worth, not everyone is convinced Trump was born in the USA either: 43% say he definitely was born here, and 20% say he probably was; 7% say he definitely or probably was born in another country. Nearly three in 10 say they don't know enough to say. The poll of 1,013 adults, taken Wednesday to Saturday, has a margin of error of +/-4 percentage points. Maybe birtherism is an equal-opportunity phenomenon of broad empirical skepticism and poll questions designed to put people on the spot. After all, I haven't read much about Donald Trump's birthplace. If you asked me, I'd probably say, "Who knows?" Then again, Pew Research Center studies have consistently shown low familiarity with news topics among the American public. Coincidentally, just 43 percent knew last month that John Boehner is speaker of the House.

President Obama birth certificate is released by White House Published: Wednesday, April 27, 2011, 9:34 AM WASHINGTON — The White House released the long form of President Barack Obama's birth certificate Wednesday in response to questions about whether he was really born in the U.S. The certificate says Obama was born in Hawaii, which makes him eligible to hold the office of president. Obama had earlier released a standard short form, but requested copies of his original birth certificate from Hawaii officials this week in hopes of quieting the controversy. White House spokesman Jay Carney says Obama felt the debate over his birthplace had become a "sideshow" that was bad for the country and political debate. White House officials have said the issue was settled long ago. But so-called "birthers" opposed to Obama have kept the issue alive. Potential Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump recently began questioning why Obama hadn't ensured the long form was released. "The president feels this was bad for the country, that it's not healthy for our political debate," Carney said. --------------------------------------- Conspiracy over.
