Look at the cross tabs.

31% of people who voted for Obama in 2008 are Troofers (19% unsure).

On the Obama approval, the split for approval/disapproval breaks out as follows:
94% liberal approve
46% moderate approve
12% conservative approve

The disapprovals are
3, 44, and 83% respectively.

Support for ObamaCare is much lower, and a majority (50%) oppose. Liberals still support, 49% moderates and most conservatives oppose. A much bigger percentage don’t know (11% across the board).

On issue of birthers - it’s a near mirror to the troofer question.

The HC numbers trend mirrors national polls that show support for ObamaCare waning among independents/moderates/centrists, etc. It will be interesting to see how that group responds of the Baucus bill becomes the Senate vehicle.

My favorite cross-tab is that 5% of those who voted for Obama think he is the anti-christ.

To your last point, I don’t know why somebody doesn’t do a cross tab that shows the direct overlap in responses for the birther, truther, anti-christ, conspiracy du jour categories. I think it would show something close to 10% of the electorate literally believe every conspiracy that manages to get a sizable following.
