(CNN) Over half of Americans who heard about Kanye West's comments on politics and slavery say he made them because he is seeking publicity, according to a CNN poll conducted by SSRS. Only 39% think West really believes in what he is saying. Among Republicans, 56% think West believes what he is saying, while among Democrats, that number shrinks to 30%. These numbers reflect Americans who say they've heard about Kanye's comments; 72% said they've heard about them and only a quarter said they've heard "nothing at all." Among African Americans, though, 40% have heard "a great deal" and 88% say they've heard about the comments.
