According to polling, 39% of Republicans are birthers. If about 39% of all adults are Republican (that's the best figure I could find), and there are about 200 million adults in the US, that means that there are about 30 million birthers, or 1 in every 10 Americans.
As for political impact, ask yourself why there are congressmen and senators standing up for these morons.
