More polling

A bit of a follow-up to my last polling thread:

Percentage of Americans who believe the earliest humans lived at the same time as the dinosaurs:52
Percentage of Americans who believe aliens have contacted the U.S. government:37
Percentage of Americans who think the government should have the right to control what information the news media can report:28
Percentage of Americans who believe the Sept. 11 attacks were predicted by the Book of Revelation:23
Percentage of Americans who believe the death penalty has not been used against innocent people in the last five years:22

Well, this might explain those:

Percentage of Americans who get their news from radio talk shows every day:22

The solution is simple. Kill the ~22% overlap!

  1. Devil’s advocate sez: The overlap doesn’t have to be the whole 22%. In fact, we have no idea what the overlap is unless the survey notes it.

    Where do you get these stats? And does this mean that in fact it’s the aliens who are controlling what the news media is reporting?

  2. Yes, that’s it! It’s the aliens! Of course surveys mean nothing without a good understanding of poling methodology and sample size, and other pertinent info, which is why it’s fun to quote them. 🙂 All of these are from PollingReport.com
