Judging by Obama's surging popularity I'd say quite a few Americans are intelligent. Even Republicans. The Republicans are voting for McCain and if we have to have another Republican president I'd prefer it to be McCain than Huckabee too. And I think the reason for Obama's surge in popularity is because most of America realizes that something isn't working- and most intelligent people can see when something isn't working and know when to give it up. They see the need for change and want change and they want their country- and their religion- back.

I would call that making an intelligent decision.
