Americans. don't know who they are!?

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

27% are Muslim

21% are transgender and

20% earn more than a million dollars a year.

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

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.
