I'm sure the polls near him would also show quite a few creationists, but unfortunately, we know people lie on these polls: https://www.prri.org/academic/study-know-last-sunday-finds-americans-significantly-inflate-religious-participation/ https://www.prri.org/academic/study-know-last-sunday-finds-a... There's no great way to know the "real" rate of creationists, when apparently people change their stated beliefs for social reasons.

The rate of creationists would also heavily depend on how the question is phrased, because there's not one "creationism" but several, sometimes incompatible, ideologies. Compare these questions: > Do you believe that a supernatural force created the universe? > Do believe that God created the earth 6000-10000 years ago? The first is much broader and would also probably include the origin stories of many non-Abrahamic religions. The second is referring to a specific school of Christian "young earth" creationism.
