Do your “correct answer” numbers correct for the people who put something like “no answer” or “prefer not to answer”?
I’d guess that most survey respondents were actually guessing something like “percentage of people who give an answer, and for whom the answer is X”, even if they were supposed to be guessing “percentage of all people who answer X”.
“Correct answer” is maybe not the best wording, it means the answer that Rethink Charity used to describe their results, and is also consistent with how they reported the results in previous years. I should have pointed this out at the beginning of the survey.
In terms of the political questions, that is also shifted by a large response from people supporting libertarian or other political views.
