These are the topline results of a YouGov survey of 1000 US adults interviewed September 12 - 13, 2013 on exorcism and possession. The results show that half of Americans believe in possession although most say it happens infrequently. The margin of error is 3%.

I’ve seen the Exorcist 167 times and it keeps getting funnier every single time I see it!
Very informative book.
God had blessed America because it was a shining star on the hill of mankind. Marxists, anarchists, and Islamists separately and sometimes together (as in the current era) take what it good and pure and knowingly and purposely destroy it. Those three groups are actual evil in masquerade.
While that might be true, the Hebrew translation is revealing, is it not?
saved persons cannot be possessed by a demon. They have Jesus Christ AND the Holy Spirit in them, plus God gives them a new spirit that fights against their old sin nature. There is no way a demon can possess them and make them do anything.
UNSAVED people can be possessed by demons. They have no such protection of the Living God living inside them.
Ed Shultz too. Maybe Howard Dean. Those guys are truly nutterbutters.
H’mmm, no mention if they believe in bottled spirits.
Rat Party activists prove it beyond all doubt.
Why do they need a poll on this?
The Demoncrats rejected God three times at their convention:

Pretty well documented during the life of Christ.
No reason to believe it doesn’t continue to this day.
Amen!
