It's all according to what they wanted to show. The narrative they wanted to put out there.
Just like when NBC Dateline did that story about some pickup trucks exploding when they crashed. So the people at Dateline got some of those trucks and crashed them. But none of them exploded. So they took another one and rigged it up with explosives and blew it up on the show and said it showed how they exploded on contact. They later had to apologize for that.
Same when they edited the 911 call from Zimmerman in the Treyvon Martin case. They wanted to "prove" that Zimmerman was a racist. They had to apologize for that too.
What I'm saying is...I'm thinking that it's entirely possible that the guy doing that poll wanted to show that the American education system isn't teaching enough science. So he made sure to poll the "right" people to prove it.
If you really wanted to know if kids are learning science, then you would poll kids at high schools and ask them.
I doubt very seriously that there are very many high school seniors who believe the Sun rotates the Earth. lol
