And I can’t help wondering if any right wing blog would have been so forthcoming, if they had posted bogus poll results. In their current state of paranoia and hyper-partisanship, I seriously doubt it.

No, because by and large they run in the Creationist crowd and they don’t actually understand scientific and rational concepts such as “evidence”, “peer review”, “verifiable”, “falsifiable”, “corroborate”, and “intellectual honesty”. Those are concepts which are fundamentally necessary to understand that what they currently believe in as a dogma is untenable and, not to put too fine a point on it, full of shit.
