When asked if they supported “establishing Christianity as the national religion,” 57 percent of the Republicans surveyed told Public Policy Polling (PPP) that they were in favor.

Only 57%?! I'm encouraged.

Women were more likely to support the official establishment of Christianity in the US, with two-thirds – 66 percent – responding “yes” to the question, while less than half the men surveyed – 49 percent – chose that option.

Stockholm syndrome.

Science fared even worse than the First Amendment. The poll’s finding “supports the growing perception liberals have of conservatives,” meaning Republicans are “anti-science Christian theocrats,” the New Civil Rights Movement wrote.

A majority of Tea Party members – 61 percent – said they don’t accept the theory of evolution.

Overall [all Republican primary voters], 37 percent of those surveyed believe in the theory, with less than half – 49 percent – disbelieving.

When it came to global warming, only a quarter of respondents said they believe in climate change. [...] Self-identified Tea Party members were vehemently against the scientific phenomenon, with 91 percent being so-called “climate deniers.”

Women were more likely to believe in global warming, at 30 percent. Only 20 percent of men agreed. Meanwhile, women were less likely to believe in evolution – 30 percent, compared to 43 percent of males.

Don’t know what that indicates on either count.

PPP, a Democratic-leaning firm, surveyed 316 Republican primary voters from February 20-22. The margin of error was 5.5 percentage points.

That’s not an inconsequential margin of error I think. But if there’s error, I’m guessing it’s in overestimating the fanatics’ grasp on reality, and underestimating the percentage who want an American theocracy.
