And, it's reasonable to assume that a good portion of the people polled didn't understand the concept of evolution, as shown here:

From PEW research, a much better source than Gallup.
Public Praises Science; Scientists Fault Public, Media | Pew Research Center for the People and the Press
When it comes to whether science conflicts with one’s own religious beliefs, Republicans are more likely to say “yes” (45%), compared with Democrats (33%) or independents (34%).
Now this is hilarious. The majority of conservative Republicans believe that funding for research from private industry is enough. While the majority of scientists, EVEN THOSE IN INDUSTRY, say the most important source for funding IN THEIR INDUSTRY comes from the Federal Government.
The reason? Because research is expansive and private companies just don't have the same capacity as "countries". I'm telling you, listen to Republicans and we will end up back in the "bronze age". What can you expect from people who slash education and believe in "magical creation" and want to give the nation's wealth to a couple of people????
