Only 34 percent of Americans correctly identify President Barack Obama as a Christian, according to a new poll from Gallup released Friday. 

Most respondents — 44 percent — were unsure of the president’s religious denomination, but the poll also reflects the staying power of a conspiracy theory that has followed Obama since he emerged on the national stage.  According to Gallup, 11 percent of Americans believe he is a Muslim.
