The Right 'dumbs down'

Post by LarsMac »

Newest poll shows a shift to the right for ignorant people.

New research has found that about a third of Americans do not believe in evolution, more-or-less unchanged since the last time the Pew Research Center asked the question in 2009. But researchers did notice a note-worthy shift — Republicans are now far less likely to believe in evolution than Democrats. In 2009, 54 percent of Republicans and 64 percent of Democrats endorsed evolution, a ten-point gap. That gap has since increased to 24 points, with 43 percent of Republicans and 67 percent of Democrats believing in evolution in 2013.

What a good idea Anne ! More and more people, it would seem, are becoming soooooo blinkered ! I blame some of it on all these different 'sects' leaping out of the woodwork, takng advantage of a very gullible section of the public and brain-washing them !
