More Americans Believe In Aliens Than Bigfoot

Although it may not be good news for Bigfoot hunters, it may be good news for those who claim to have encountered aliens. According a report by the Times Free Press on May 6, only 14 percent of those surveyed believe in the existence of Bigfoot, while 29 percent of Americans believe in aliens.

The survey conducted in April 2013 by Public Policy Polling, polled 1,250 registered voters. Whether the results would differ significantly if non-registered voters were polled is unclear.

An earlier Angus Reid Public Opinion Poll conducted in February 2012 revealed that nearly 30 percent of Americans thought Bigfoot was "probably real", while only 23 percent declared Bigfoot was definitely not real. The poll surveyed 1,016 American adults, says Cryptomundo.

Interestingly a Reuters News poll conducted by Ipsos and released in April revealed that 24 percent of Americans believe that aliens currently walk among us. The poll surveyed over 23,000 people worldwide.

It seems that while Americans have difficulty believing that a large hairy creature roams the forest undetected, they have less of a problem believing their neighbor may be an alien in disguise.
