	AllRefer.com - poll : Evolution (Political Science: Terms And Concepts) - Encyclopedia
		Those early polls were generally local or regional rather than national and were confined to obtaining election preferences rather than opinions on political issues.
		The methods used in the early polls made no claim to being scientific; polling was usually done by canvassers hired to go out and question people or by "straw ballots" in the newspapers, which readers were asked to fill out and mail in.
		The superiority of this method over the old straw-ballot system was demonstrated in the 1936 presidential election when the Literary Digest poll, which based its predictions on the older technique, produced a staggeringly inaccurate forecast, while the poll of a newer group organized by George Gallup predicted the result of the election correctly.

	Evolution Poll Gallup
		While much of the debate centers on issues surrounding the separation of church and state in public school classrooms, the discussions are often premised largely on individuals’ personal beliefs about Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution and the biblical theory of creationism.
		Most recently, in Gallup’s February 19-21 poll, 45% of respondents chose "God created human beings pretty much in their present form at one time within the last 10,000 years or so," the statement that most closely describes biblical creationism.
		In order to better understand these issues, we examined the relationship between responses to these two questions, looking at how people who said they believed in or leaned toward one of the two theories answered the more specific question describing the three approaches to the origin and development of human beings.

	What is Evolution's Voyage?
		Evolution's Voyage is a cyberspace publishing and consulting firm whose first goal is to inform, educate, and entertain on the subject of evolutionary psychology and explain it as simply as we can.
		We at Evolution's Voyage believe that there is a large middle ground who believe in both, and we will attempt to gather them here, to find a place where respect for their beliefs can be welcome.
		A breakdown of that number shows that 13 percent say both evolution and creationism should be taught as scientific theories, and 16 percent want only creationism taught as a scientific theory.

	USATODAY.com - Poll: Public divided on evolution (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		In the poll by the Pew Research Center, 42% of those surveyed held strict "creationist" views that "living things have existed in their present form since the beginning of time." Creationism generally refers to a literal reading of the Bible's story of the creation of man.
		Some of those people, 26% of all those polled, said they believe evolution occurred through natural selection, and another 18% of all those polled, said evolution was guided by a supreme being.
		The poll of 2,000 adults was conducted July 7-17 and has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 2.5 percentage points.

	Geotimes — September 2005 — Evolution & Intelligent Design: Understanding Public Opinion (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		In terms of validity, scrutinizing the language of the polls, along with other indicators, allowed for a better idea of whether the poll items are actually reflecting “true” opinion when it comes to the debate.
		Moving from public information sources about the debate to estimates of public knowledge, the various poll findings are fairly consistent in showing that many members of the public underestimate the overwhelming scientific consensus in support of the theory of evolution, and that nearly equal numbers are confused about the scientific credibility of intelligent design.
		Some evidence indicates that framing the issue around the compatibility of evolution with moderate religious views, while also emphasizing the national ridicule that would ensue from a move toward ID in local schools, may be an especially effective and persuasive communication tactic.

	Can God, evolution coexist? \| LJWorld.com
		Two thirds of Kansans say evolution should be taught in public schools and that there is no contradiction in believing in God and the scientific theory of the origins of life, according to a Lawrence Journal-World and 6News poll.
		Evolution is not taught in public schools in Kansas (at least, not in most of them).
		If the poll is correct, it reveals that evolution (falsely so called science because it is a theory) is a man taught religion being force taught by the higher education centers.

	Harris Interactive \| The Harris Poll - Nearly Two-thirds of U.S. Adults Believe Human Beings Were Created by God
		At the same time, approximately one-fifth (22%) of adults believe "human beings evolved from earlier species" (evolution) and 10 percent subscribe to the theory that "human beings are so complex that they required a powerful force or intelligent being to help create them" (intelligent design).
		Again divided, 46 percent of adults agree that "Darwin’s theory of evolution is proven by fossil discoveries," while 48 percent disagree.
		Despite the significant numbers who believe in creationism, pluralities among the demographic subgroups examined still believe all three concepts (evolution, creationism, and intelligent design) should be taught in public schools.

	Tampabay: Poll: Evolution's not enough
		That sentiment runs contrary to Florida's current policy of teaching evolution, the theory developed by 19th century biologist Charles Darwin and accepted by nearly all scientists as the answer to how humans and other species originated and evolved.
		Sherry Gerodimos, who teaches biology at Largo High School, said while she is "more comfortable siding with evolution," she was impressed with a DVD she received on intelligent design and has considered showing it to her students.
		Bostock, who identifies herself as a Christian and believes that humans were "divinely created," said she wasn't surprised at the poll numbers.

		“Evolution should be taught with a 1-3 minute disclaimer read at the beginning of the unit mentioning the idea of intelligent design.

		"This poll shows widespread support for the idea that when biology teachers teach Darwin's theory of evolution they should present the scientific evidence that supports it as well as the evidence against it," said Casey Luskin, program officer for public policy and legal affairs with Discovery Institute's Center for Science and Culture.
		Three-fourths of respondents (77%) agree that when Darwin's theory of evolution is taught in school, students should also be able to learn about scientific evidence that points to an intelligent design of life.
		Seventy percent or more of people in just about every sub-group agree that when Darwin's theory of evolution is taught in school, students should also be able to learn about scientific evidence that points to an intelligent design of life.

	Zogby poll on evolution is released

	Public Divided on Origins of Life
		But nearly four-in-ten of those who believe in evolution (18% of the public as a whole) say that evolution was guided by a supreme being for the purpose of creating humans and other life in the form it exists today, a view that is consistent with some aspects of what has been called "intelligent design."
		By contrast, a plurality of those who accept evolution says that their education is the most important source (47%); this number is 60% among people who believe that evolution proceeds through natural selection.
		At the same time, not all creationists believe that creationism should replace evolution in the schools: 32% of those who subscribe to the creationist view do not think it should be taught instead of evolution.

		If evolution is true and the Bible is wrong on this, then it is wrong on everything else, and means nothing.
