although I do wonder how much the absolute values are affected by the wording of the survey…

I wonder the same. My own confidence in scientific studies has been shaken by corporate science and the fact that our economic system affects what's funded, studied, and concluded. But my trust in the method and principles of science is still absolute.

What scares me, and what I suspect is reflected in that 22% number, is how many people say the method and principles are bogus, or variations on that theme.
