I doubt that it is "most," though it certainly is "many." The number of people who believe that would go down, I suspect, if they knew what Obama really said:

If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. There was a great teacher somewhere in your life. Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you’ve got a business — you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen. The Internet didn’t get invented on its own. Government research created the Internet so that all the companies could make money off the Internet. The point is, is that when we succeed, we succeed because of our individual initiative, but also because we do things together. [emphasis added]

I think that most people who read that, even those who dislike Obama, know that the video distorted his meaning. That's why the video is not funny. It attempts to make fun of something that never happened.
