Are you that dense?
Election --- Kansas 2000 --- Science vs Mythology -- Science Won
That's your stinkin' poll, and it's the only one that really matters - an actual election.
Here read about it yourself, Election results signal changes in science standards by Kansas board
Quote
The board in August 1999 approved standards that omitted many references to evolution, the big-bang theory or the age of the Earth. The vote was 6-4. After the election, the balance on the board has shifted to 7-3 in favor of evolution.
It should be noted that in 2000 Kansas went 65-33 for Bush over Gore. So for Republicans to lose that bad in a year where Bush won big should be more than enough to tell you that pushing mythology over science is a loser.
I'm sure if you looked you won't find any poll in 1998 or before showing evolution vs mythology as an issue concerning Kansas citizens, as to most people it was settled back in 1925 after the Scopes Monkey trial. Yet in 1999 when they brought it up again and they made it an issue again and they ended up losing.
Now, It's not a stretch to figure that if the people of Kansas who are among the most religious and Republican in the nation rejected replacing science with mythology, that the people living in states that are less religious and Republican (i.e. Colorado & Nevada) than Kansas will also do so.
Plus remember the Santorum Amendment, where Rick Santorum tried to sneak ID into the No Child Left Behind act, If ID is such a winner or a non-issue why did they take it out? Rick Santorum is also the most vulnerable senator in this up coming election (coincidence?)
Sometimes for sure but not this time. You labor under the misguided notion that the Kansas School Board Election of 2000 was a bellwether of some sort. An analyst with a bit less density would look at the data and see it as a blip where a few moderate Republicans replaced very conservative Republicans on the School Board. Even this was reversed two years later.
So you take a blip on a graph and extrapolate it to the voting population of the United States where overwhelming numbers of those voters believe that God created the Universe.
Stupid analysis based on ideology, not objective fact. You're an ideologue that wants it to be true but there is, once again, NO data supporting your dense assertions. None, nada, zippo.
In fact, if one looks at the reportage of that story and the facts surrounding it one can easily come to the conclusion that certain populations in Kansas were subjected to propaganda and when they realized it they righted the ship. The propaganda would be that the School Board voted to ban the teaching of evolution. It was propaganda because it was false.
What's your specific gravity?
