The trouble with this poll is it’s all about mere perception. Perception affected by the modern lame-stream media, and random personal events. The real motives of the answers are impenetrable. Perception more apt to shift about than our wild winds today.

Look at this from the methodology

Samples are weighted by gender, age, race, Hispanic ethnicity, education, region, adults in the household, cell phone-only status, cell phone-mostly status, and phone lines. Demographic weighting targets are based on the March 2009 Current Population Survey figures for the aged 18 and older non-institutionalized population living in U.S. telephone households. All reported margins of sampling error include the computed design effects for weighting and sample design.

What % of fundies would one expect in the above group? I do not see reason to assume a big % at all.
Seems more likely ordinary people influenced more by the last TV show they watched or whatever whim of the second they got the call. Right there you have your majority of respondents.
