ROCHESTER, N.H. Two
days after asserting that President Barack Obama was a foreign-born
Muslim, a guy who asked Donald Trump a provocative question at a New
Hampshire rally is now the front-runner in the Republican race for
President, according to a new poll.
The
poll, which was conducted by the University of Minnesota’s Opinion
Research Institute, shows Muslim Question Guy leading the G.O.P. field
with thirty-four per cent as opposed to nineteen per cent for Trump.
In
interviews with poll respondents, Republicans gave Muslim Question Guy
high marks for stating that President Obama was neither Christian nor
American and criticized Trump for not being more vocal in his agreement
on those points.
Minutes after
the poll was released, however, Trump was on the offensive, attacking
Muslim Question Guy during an appearance on CNN.
“People
who are supporting this guy haven’t done their homework,” the
businessman said. “If you look back over the past seven years, no one
has called Obama a foreign-born Muslim more often than I have.”
Trump’s
comments did little to slow the momentum of Muslim Question Guy, who
drew four thousand people at his first official campaign rally in
Concord, New Hampshire, where he vowed to take back the country from
Muslim clockmakers.
