What % of right tried taking his God and country away from him by lying about his religion and where he was born? A large % still believe that.

"I don't think it would be close." Me either, and I'd bet the other way...
"The far left yelled at Pres. Bush "
Do you remember the 2004 and 2006 elections? It was brutal, he was called a war criminal. Harry Reid called him a loser. All a metter of perception, I guess.
"What % of right tried taking his God and country away from him by lying about his religion and where he was born?"
I bet the % of conservatives who genuinely believed he was a Muslim, is a lot lower than you'd guess. Hell, I wish he was a Muslim, as that is a lot easier to understand than how anyone, and I mean anyone, could listen to Rev Wright for 20 years and have no issues with any of it, until it became a political necessity. I'd rather have a Muslim president than a President whoi is a disciple of something called "black liberation theology".
"A large % still believe that"
I don't know if that's true. But I bet a large % of liberals believe that Bush/Cheney got us into the Iraq war for money,. or oil, or to finish what Bush 41 started, and that Bush "lied", etc...Oh, and that Bush somehow stole the election from Gore. let's not forget that he's a fictional president, and a mental lightweight, all that stuff.
Kooks on both sides. I'd bet everything I have in return for the spare change you have in your pocket, that Bush got more personal attacks
