I thought this was interesting. These are results from 20 known and not so known conspiracy theories where participants were asked if they believed in them. What is not surprising is the amount of those who do not believe but that all of them have believers!I thought it would be interesting to hear what our members believe in or not. On our national poll this week we took the opportunity to poll 20 widespread and/or infamous conspiracy theories. Many of these theories are well known to the public, others perhaps to just the darker corners of the internet. Here's what we found:1. - 37% of voters believe global warming is a hoax, 51% do not. Republicans say global warming is a hoax by a 58-25 margin, Democrats disagree 11-77, and Independents are more split at 41-51. 61% of Romney voters believe global warming is a hoax2. - 6% of voters believe Osama bin Laden is still alive3. - 21% of voters say a UFO crashed in Roswell, NM in 1947 and the US government covered it up.
