Took a quick look and saw these poll results from 2012.


3. Half of GOP voters think a nonexistent group stole the election for Obama
According to PPP — the pollster clearly having the most fun after the election — "49 percent of GOP voters nationally say they think that ACORN stole the election for President Obama," compared with 52 percent who said the same in 2008. The problem? ACORN no longer exists. The community organizing group went bankrupt and disbanded in 2010. I think there's a fairly "charitable explanation" for this, says Jamelle Bouie at The American Prospect. It's clear "a large number of Republicans don’t like President Obama, and when offered a chance to endorse something that signals that dislike, they did it, even if the 'something' is absolutely insane." That's too charitable, says Steve M. at No More Mister Nice Blog. After all, "Fox News keeps telling its viewers that ACORN still does exist — at least in altered form" — and that its former employees are responsible for a "massive subversion of the American way of life."

4. One-fourth of Republicans want to secede
In what PPP calls another sign of "Republicans not handling election results well," the merry pollsters found that a full 25 percent of Republicans want their state to secede from the union, versus 56 percent who want to stick it out. Keep in mind, says Pat Cunningham at Tennessee's the OakRidger, that's a quarter of "the political party that fancies itself the citadel of American patriotism." But while secession is a surprisingly popular idea these days, the number isn't as dramatic as it looks, PPP says. "One reason that such a high percentage of Republicans are holding what could be seen as extreme views is that their numbers are declining," from 37 percent identifying as members of the party before the election to 32 percent now. (Democrats now make up 44 percent of the pie, versus 39 percent pre-election.)
