Are you part of the 4%? The 4% of Americans who believe that shape-shifting reptilian people control our world by taking on human form and gaining political power to manipulate our societies? If you're not, you may be a touch aghast by the (still low) number. But according to a new poll from Public Policy Polling, the conspiracy theorists are strong among us.
In a survey of 1,247 registered American voters from March 27-30 (conducted through automated telephone interviews), Public Policy Polling (PPP) found some choice nuggets about the things that we do and do not believe. Some highlights from the survey (pdf):
Did we ever really land on the moon? 7% of those surveyed thought Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin took not one giant leap.
Is Osama Bin Laden still out there? Well, the vast majority of respondents here thought not. But 11% aren't quite sure.

(10,000 posts)44% or respondents said yes, 45% said no.
Do you believe Saddam Hussein was involved in 9/11?
28% of respondents thought he was, while 51% thought he was not.
Do you believe that a "secretive power elite with a globalist agenda is conspiring to eventually rule the world through an authoritarian world government, or New World Order?"
Suprisingly, 28% of those surveyed thought yes. This includes a plurality (38%) of people who voted for Mitt Romney in 2012.
It's an interesting, and somewhat telling poll. The global warming question should give one pause.
Good post! DU rec!
