Of course not. But earlier polls that seemed to show the opposite results were often hailed by creationists as somehow showing something of scientific importance. In reality, such polls reveal only the quality of education in the country, and the general nature of the population's mindset. And of course, if a majority have no problem with evolution, then creationism is definitely a foolish position for any political party.

I have noticed that political parties and politicians in general do not have much of an interest in questions of TRVTH. Even though such questions lie at the very foundation of a society that values liberty and justice -- which these folks are elected to uphold, defend, and preserve.
In short, politicians would rather be popular than honest. So long as that is the case, evolution probably would have appeal for them.
