That doesn't really tell me anything. Is it a high number?

It tells you US citizens don't trust the government.

Or that they don't believe in the moon landing. Which might also be an alarmingly high number.

Who can blame them for that? Their government has been bombarding them and the world with propaganda for years. It is normal to doubt. It is best to doubt.

And both groups are wrong.

I imagine they were worried about their email servers failing under the deluge if they started the headline with "More Americans think". 🤌🏼
