About that 20%….
The recent Pew poll that indicated 20% believe Obama to be a Muslim prompted Justin Moyer of the WaPo to look at some other polls, looking for other topics agreed to by 20% of the respondents. Granted, manner of questioning, targets of questions and the like do influence poll results — but I found this an amusing bit of perspective:
Obama isn’t a Muslim. But here are other things that 20 percent of Americans believe.
Among the highlights:
20% of Americans believe we’ve been visited by space aliens (no info on whether or not they were legal)
20% pee in pools.
Aren’t statistics fun????
