I always tell pollsters that I'll be glad to participate. Then I tell them that exactly half my answers will be lies.

Good job. Those polls are used to make decisions about public policy.“As a lifelong member of the Columbia Business School community, I adhere to the principles of truth, integrity, and respect. I will not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do.”

I think what's remarkable about these poll numbers is how many Americans hold these beliefs despite the media's incessant ridicule of them.
Most mainstream outlets won't touch these ideas with a ten foot pole, and the official 9/11 conspiracy theory is trumpeted ad nauseam, but still a substantial number of Americans (100 mil), find fault with the story.Comment

100 million? wait, you just went from 1/4th to 1/3rd. Is this isolated or just another demonstration of fuzzy evidence and reverse scientific method?If there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?
