Yes, it is not an exhaustive survey. There have been previous polling of teachers and science teachers on this subject.

That the Post-Gazette did not call “Intelligent Design” creationism is itself telling, too.

I expect PA teachers to be a bit more creationist than us here on the west coast, or in the north east of the country, so national polling sometimes smoothes over the regional differences.

The reason I went with this story was not about the sample size in the latest Post-Gazette sampling, but rather the explicit responses they received.
