"Last month a poll by YouGov found that 44% of Republicans think Bill Gates wants to use covid-19 vaccines to implant microchips in people; 19% of Democrats agree."
That number, for both parties, was much higher than I would've guessed.
Based on both numbers I'd have to say this is completely made up. There's no possible way this is real. I've seen those "Bill gates as the elder of zion" memes circulated around once or twice but the people who did share those are the same people who share healing crystal and astrology memes, and they're not 20% of the population.
I would have to agree. Unless they only interviewed the people who saw a targeted campaign of just that fake info, and then asked how many of them believed it. But broadly there's no way that's an accurate percentage
Not to be rude to people that use Yahoo, but my impressions is that you'd need to poll from other sources to find a representative example of your typical American.
I think he means that in the nature of the case liberals are most likely to be correct because liberalism generally aligns with the truth better than conservatism does.
As a conservative I would say conservatives (perhaps) err more often on low-level particulars whereas liberals tend to err on big picture, how-the-world-works issues.
It's also possibly a reference to a quote made by Steven Colbert at the 2006 White House Correspondents' Dinner[0] that "reality has a well know liberal bias."
Quoting from the article: "On the available evidence, the presence of people subscribing to economic liberalism within the ostensibly conservative parties in the US, UK and Australia makes it very unlikely that a substantial correlation – either positive or negative – will be found between political conservatism and intelligence."

Would you like to explain? Or was this sarcasm?

So the answer seems to be no?
