matthew fuller: "At least a third of Americans will not know what ‘evolution’ is."

FYI, here are statistics from Gallup on US beliefs regarding evolution.

The numbers of those who believe God had no hand in evolution has increased from 10% thirty years ago to nearly 20% today.

The numbers of those who believe God created humans in our present form has remained constant at around 40%.

The numbers of those who believe God guides evolution ("theistic evolutionism") fell from nearly 40% thirty years ago to now about 30%.
In other words: one fourth of these believers have switched to non-belief.

Around 10% had & have no opinion.

Doubtless, these correspond roughly to our political beliefs:

20% hard-core atheistic "progressive/liberals".
40% solid believing social-conservatives.
30% "moderate" can't-we-all-get-along more-or-less conservatives.

The sad part is that while groups two & three squabble amongst ourselves, the first group, a minority of just 20%, rules over us.

“40% solid believing social-conservatives.”

I know a lot of these that voted for Obama ...

Yes, they rule us because group 3 votes for group 1, because group 3 are idiots.
