Obama’s father was a citizen of the UK and Colonies (not Kenya) when the President was born, and that does not make him ineligible.

No, it asks if they believe he is eligible to be President of the United States, poll.

And show me where in the constitution it says that you have to have both Parents be U.S. Citizens to be a “Natural Born” Citizen?

Furthermore, would you say that to Americans, English Common Law would be more known than a Swiss Philosopher? If so, then why would the framers, basing their writing on a swiss philosopher and knowing that English Common Law would be much more widely known, not define what they meant by Natural-Born Citizen? Furthermore, if they weren’t using English Common Law, then why did they insert it other places in the constitution, such as Haebus Corpus, which comes from English Common Law?

The poll is skewed slightly. It doesn’t ask if he was “natural born” (i.e., both parents U.S. citizens), only if he was born in the U.S.

There is reason to believe that Obama’s father was a Kenyan citizen when Obama was born, making him ineligible to be President.
