National Geographic Poll Reveals Americans Want Obama in White House During Alien Invasion

Noah J Nelson on Thursday, Jun. 28th

Call it the “Morgan Freeman” effect. Blame it on the “librul meedeeya”. Better still: blame it on silly marketing during an election year. A National Geographic Channel poll to drum up support for a new show has yielded some cosmic results.

A new poll, sponsored by the National Geographic Channel, shows that 65 percent of Americans believe that Obama would be better at fighting aliens than Mitt Romney. And since 36 percent of respondents believe in UFOs, this could actually help turn the election in Obama’s favor.

Thanks to io9 for brightening up my day.
