Once more, a 50% belief in 2008 to a 39% belief in 2009 is most certainly a drop.

Apples to apples then. Creationists went from 44 to 25%.

No, that is still "Apples/oranges". They are two different questions. What is not an "Apples/oranges" comparison is the one that RightWingNilla pointed out, and that was the rise from 9% to 14% in the evolution group during the period from 1982 to 2008. Part of that rise could have come from those that believed in evolution with God directing it plus some who were previously in the group "other/no opinion". That is because those who did not believe in evolution remained constant as a percentage over the period involved.
