Did we also talk about the fact that 19% of Democrats also wanted to bomb Agrabah?

And 36% oppose bombing it, which could be interpreted that they, too, believe it a real place. Neither chunk of voters especially comes out smelling like unicorn farts in all that.

Yeah, the better interpretation of this survey is "a terrifying number of people are really, really ignorant; an even more terrifying subset are belligerently so."
