I am not sure how often other countries run such surveys but I
remember
reading once that a UK survey returned a result of about
5%.
However, as others have noted, the way the question is phrased can
affect
how people will answer, but that won't stop people using the 48%
figure. I
regularly read about creationists addressing education
committees claiming
that if they do not include creationism in their
science ciriculum then the
committee is ignoring the wishes of about 50% of
the American people.
