The difference between the two polls can largely be explained by sheer stupidity: in the Rasmussen poll, it was a "yes or no" question, in the Gallup poll, several interpretations were given and the subjects got to choose one.

But consider that according to another Gallup poll 44% of Americans believe that God created humanity in its present form somewhere in the past 10,000 years.

I'd say that's a sign of taking the bible pretty damn literally, wouldn't you?
