Would you be surprised to learn that of all major religions in America, Muslims really like Obama the most?

If you guessed that's a no brainer, you're absolutely right As a group, Muslim Americans give Barack Hussein Obama the highest job approval rating of any major religion.:

A new Gallup Poll of 275,000 adults this morning finds that while the Democrat's overall approval ratings have dropped across all faiths -- even those Americans without any -- Muslims continue to approve of him the most. And you'll never guess which faith based in Utah thinks the least of the 44th president's job.

Seventy-eight percent of Muslims (down from 86% after Obama's inauguration) now approve of the president's 19-month job performance, while less than one-in-four Mormons (24%) do (down from 43%).

Catholics' job approval has fallen from 67% to 50%. Protestants' from 58% to 43%. Jews' from....
...77% to 61%. Other non-Christian religions' from 74% to 64%. And atheist/agnostic from 75% to 63%, believe it or not.

Overall, Gallup finds Americans' approval of Obama's job has dropped in the same time-span from 63% to 48%.

About the only surprise here is that Gallop found Obama's overall approval to be as high as 48%. I'd expect it to be hovering around 41%, which if not there now, it's headed in that direction.
