Gallup says 9 in 10 Americans believe in God

(RNS) A new Gallup poll finds 92 percent of Americans say they believe
in God, a figure that has dropped by only a few points since Gallup
first asked the question in the 1940s.

Gallup pollster Frank Newport offered some background on those
numbers:
Americans' self-reported belief in God has been relatively constant
over the last 6 1/2 decades; the percentage of Americans who respond
that they believe in God now stands within six points of the all-time
high in the 1950s and 1960s.

Previous Gallup surveys have shown that when respondents are given
the ability to express doubts about their belief, the percentage of
Americans who report a certain belief in God drops to 70 to 80 percent.
