Just when you thought you couldn’t have a lower opinion of the Republican Party…

along comes this news:

Over the last four years, the percentage of Democrats who said they believe in evolution has risen by three points, from 64 percent to 67 percent. But the percentage of Republicans who believe in the theory has dropped 11 points, from 54 percent to 43 percent.

So while there was a 10-point gap in 2009, there is now a 24-point gap.

In fairness, millions of Democrats are apparently ignorant of basic science too.  What a country!
