In a professional survey of 1247 American adults, respondents were asked a variety of conspiracy theory questions – did man really land on the moon, who shot JFK and so on.

Most of the results were about what you’d expect, for example:

44% of voters believe the Bush administration intentionally misled the public about
weapons of mass destruction to promote the Iraq War, while 45% disagree.

What did surprise me was that, alongside the 5% that believe in chemtrails, 4% believe that shape-shifting reptilian people control our world by taking on human form and gaining political power to manipulate our societies.

That’s 50 people out of the 1247 surveyed. Considering that David Icke is primarily responsible for this meme, it shows that his reach is much greater than I had presumed.
