39% in the US believe President Obama deserved Nobel Peace Prize (poll)

Edited on Wed Oct-14-09 08:34 AM by PinkOwl

This according to a poll conducted by PoliticsHome, a firm created in 2008, "launched in association with Pollster.com," according to the website. 52% in the US believe he did not deserve it.

In the UK, 62% think he did not deserve it, versus 22% who do.

PoliticsHome interviewed 1430 adults in the US, and 1303 adults in the UK, by email between 9-11 October 2009. Results are weighted by party ID to reflect the both countries at large.

2. More believe in angels than evolution. US public opinion is often misguided.

4. Not sure I believe those numbers. I'd like to see other more established polls.

Their weighting is probably off.
