12 million Americans believe lizard people run our country

About 90 million Americans believe aliens exist. Some 66 million of us think
aliens landed at Roswell in 1948. These are the things you learn when
there's a lull in political news and pollsters get to ask whatever questions
they want.
Update, October 31: We've figured out who the government reptilians are,
using science.
Public Policy Polling has raised weird polls to an art form. During last
year's presidential campaign, the firm earned a bit of a reputation for its
unorthodox questions; for example, "If God exists, do you approve of its
handling of natural disasters?"
Today PPP released the results of a national survey looking at common
conspiracy theories. Broken down by topic and cross-referenced by political
preference, the results will not inspire a lot of patriotism. If you need to
defend your fellow countrymen, be sure to note that the margin of error is
2.8 percent.
We took the findings and arranged them from most- to least-believed. And,
just to inspire additional shame, figured out how many actual Americans that
meant must believe in things like the danger of fluoride in water. (28
million, if you're wondering.)
View the full question asked for each conspiracy.

JFK was killed by conspiracy 51 percent 160,096,160

A UFO crashed at Roswell 21 percent 65,921,948
Vaccines are linked to autism 20 percent 62,782,808
The government controls minds with TV 15 percent 47,087,106
Medical industry invents diseases 15 percent 47,087,106

The government allowed 9/11 11 percent 34,530,544
Fluoride is dangerous 9 percent 28,252,264
The moon landing was faked 7 percent 21,973,983
Bin Laden is alive 6 percent 18,834,842

McCartney died in 1966 5 percent 15,695,702
Lizard people control politics 4 percent 12,556,562
Just to further inspire conversation, PPP broke down belief in each theory
by whom the respondent supported in the 2012 election. This yielded some
genuinely interesting results.

For example, only three conspiracies were more commonly believed by Obama
supporters: that Bush intentionally misled America about Iraq's WMDs (a
massive 69 percent of his supporters believe that one), that the CIA
launched the crack epidemic, and that the moon landing was faked. There are
two theories with equal support among Obama and Romney supporters: that
aliens exist and the one about fluoridation. Everything else, from lizard
people to vaccines and autism to global warming being a hoax? Believed by
more Romney supporters.
No conspiracy was less commonly believed than one suggesting that the
government is populated by lizard people. But that's mostly because only 2
percent of Obama supporters believe the theory while 5 percent of Romney
supporters do.
