Half of Republicans think ACORN stole the 2012 election for Obama even though ACORN no longer exists

Good luck with that modernization, GOP! "49% of GOP voters nationally say they think that ACORN stole the election for President Obama. We found that 52% of Republicans thought that ACORN stole the 2008 election for Obama, so this is a modest decline, but perhaps smaller than might have been expected given that ACORN doesn't exist anymore."

just make it up or remember it from Fox. To me, that would suggest legitimization by the poll takers, and would make it appear a reasonable response.

That is what they claim.

64% of them say they think Obama was not born in the USA. 15% of them think Mitt Romney killed bin Laden.
