Gallup Poll on human evolution
once at the Gallup website you can search for other polls on evolution, that is if you dare...
Pulled from the above linked site:
How informed would you say you are about the theory of evolution? Do you feel that you are very informed about the theory of evolution, somewhat informed, not too informed, or not informed at all?

How informed would you say you are about the theory of creationism? Do you feel that you are very informed about the theory of creationism, somewhat informed, not too informed, or not informed at all?

Very informed 40 %
Somewhat informed 40
Not too informed 10
Not informed at all 7
No opinion 3
What I wish to focus in on is, that 34% consider themselves to be very informed about the theory of evolution, and another 47% consider themselves to be somewhat informed.
I very much doubt that 34% of the population is very informed about the theory of evolution. I suspect that I am more informed than most people, yet I hesitate to consider myself "very informed".
