####By a 4 to 1 margin, people who accept evolution believe that God directed it (theistic evolution).####
Then 80% of the people who believe in evolution actually believe in a form of intelligent design. Also, according to your poll, 40% of scientists agree with the statement, "Man has developed over millions of years from less advanced forms of life, but God guided this process, including man's creation." Is that not a form of intelligent design?

They believe in theistic evolution. That ranges from God designed the universe to unfold through natural processes to be as we see it today, to God personally tinkers with the development of life at numerous stages. There is simply no way to know from this poll what the breakdown is.
Again, my contention was that most people who accept evolution in the USA are Christian. I am not claiming anything else, nor do I feel that polls are relevant in whether a theory is correct or not. Someone said that evolutionists are atheists, and I showed otherwise.
