Americans. don't know who they are!?

Earlier this year, [b]YouGov[/b] asked Americans to estimate what percentage of American adults fall under a certain identity group. On average, respondents assumed that
[b]30% of Americans are Jewish,[/b]

[b]27% are Muslim[/b]

[b]21% are transgender[/b] and

[b][i]20% earn more than a million dollars a year.[/i] [/b]

In reality, each of those groups account for
[big] [b]less than 2% of the population[/b].[/big]
[i]YouGov is an international research data and analytics group.[/i]

After I see these types of polls I need to go wash my eyes. How could anyone think that 30% of the population lives in New York City? It's mind numbing. The respondents under-estimated a lot though too. Will say the methodology on this one is a little shaky. Multiple studies, without a massive sample size, going back to 2009. Although that just means it's probably worse.
