Try reading some polls yourself.

From your PDF link, you pick out "conservative Republicans" at 51 percent, and leave that hanging.

A bit more from the same source:

Believe in teaching creationism instead of evolution:

Republicans--43 %

Democrats--37 %

Conservative Republicans--51 % (your figure)
Moderate/Liberal Republicans--31 %
Conservative/Moderate Democrats--39 %
Liberal Democrats--30 %

Well. Not that cut and dried, is it?

As for who actually believes in evolution:

Republicans--40 %
Democrats--53 %

That's a bare majority, pal, and of that 53 percent, 20 percent of those think that the evolution was guided by a supreme being.
