Catherine Rampell notes:
“Many Americans
believe a lot of dumb, crazy, destructive, provably wrong stuff. Lately this is
especially (though not exclusively) true of Donald Trump voters, according to a
new survey.
The survey, from
the Economist/YouGov, was conducted in mid-December, and it finds that
willingness to believe a given conspiracy theory is (surprise!) strongly
related to whether that conspiracy theory supports one’s political preferences.”
