2011 Gullibility of the Nation Report

Yesterday, over 540 copies of this year's "Gullibility of the Nation" report were distributed to politicians in Washington DC, including all 100 Senators, all 435 members of the House of Representatives, the members of the Cabinet and of course, Vice-President Biden and President Obama.

Highlights of this year's report, based on extensive analysis of surveys conducted by this Foundation throughout the year, include:

• 53% of Americans surveyed reported practicing gullibility at least once in 2010 - up from only 45% in 2009.
• Of those, 29% reported practicing it on at least a monthly basis.
• 17% held National Gullibility Week events with family or friends.
• Americans who regularly practiced gullibility were 23% less likely to approve of the job President Obama is doing, and 34% more likely to consider voting for the eventual Republican nominee.
• Americans who regularly practiced gullibility were 51% more likely to believe that the administration should relax regulatory measures, so that large investment banks and business owners can better resolve the nation's financial crisis.

Stay tuned for our 2011 figures, coming in early 2012!
