A poll conducted by the The Washington Post and ABC News has found that over 50% of Americans have a poor understanding of Islam. The poll also showed that a lot of Americans still believe that Islam is advocates violence against non-Muslims:

“More than half of Americans acknowledge having a poor understanding of Islam, even though they support President Barack Obama’s plan to seek improved relations with the Muslim world, according to a new opinion poll released late Sunday.

The survey by The Washington Post and ABC News showed that 55 percent of those polled said they lacked a good understanding of the teachings and beliefs of Islam.

Forty-eight percent said they had an unfavorable view of Islam while nearly three in 10, or 29 percent, said they saw mainstream Islam as advocating violence against non-Muslims….

…The survey, conducted by telephone March 26-29, had a margin of sampling error of plus or minus three percentage points.”
