Yes, the poll was commissioned by Daily Kos (because they want to exploit the Nirther craziness as much as possible, and I can’t blame them), but on the other hand Research 2000 appears to be a reputable polling company.

Do you believe that Barack Obama was born in the United States of America or not?
