I've seen this reference to 90% before -- where does that figure come
from? Who was polled? Who did the poll? In my experience, based on
the people I know (even here in Arizona) that figure is pretty
far-fetched.
Considering the closed-mindedness of fundamental creationists on any
subject they have already made up their mind about, the ID movement will
have a very uphill battle trying to "weld these disparate groups into a
coherent whole".
