How many of these 39% still believe that Bill Clinton didn't have sex with Monica Lewinsky? There were many hold outs who believed he was innocent until he got on television and admitted he did "something".

(CNN) -- Nearly 50 years since an alleged UFO was sighted at Roswell, New Mexico, a new CNN/Time poll released Sunday shows that 80 percent of Americans think the government is hiding knowledge of the existence of extraterrestrial life forms.

While nearly three-quarters of the 1,024 adults questioned for the poll said they had never seen or known anyone who saw a UFO, 54 percent believe intelligent life exists outside Earth.

Sixty-four percent of the respondents said that aliens have contacted humans, half said they've abducted humans, and 37 percent said they have contacted the U.S. government. The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.

So the percentage who think that space aliens have contacted the US government mirrors the percentage who think that "the administration" did something illegal.....

My conclusion is that about 1/3 of the US population is either delusional or so freakin' stoopid that it's amazing that they can remember to breathe!

The answer is 30%. During the CLinton years, I paid particular attention to the various polls, and it was invariably the case that no matter how damning the questions were about Clinton, there was the hard-core 30% that would defend him to the hilt.

I seem to recall that Nixon's approval numbers at the time of impeachment were around 30%. Thus, I believe we have identified that a majority of Americans (60%) are wingnuts, split down the middle between left and right wing.
