Is there a current poll about psychics?

[SaintDymphna]

I hope I'm not posting this thread into the wrong spot but I have been trying to locate a current poll that indicates the percentage of the people in the US that actually believe in psychics. I believe (unfortunately)that there are probably a high number of people who truly believe this stuff.

Does anyone know where I can locate this information?

Oh, but you are... This belongs on the paranormal board.

My brilliant Googling skills at work:
http://www.nsf.gov/statistics/seind02/c7/c7s5.htm#c7s5l2

At least half of the public believes in the existence of extrasensory perception (ESP). The statistic was 50 percent in the latest Gallup poll and higher in the 2001 NSF survey, in which 60 percent of respondents agreed that "some people possess psychic powers or ESP.

That's about what I would have guessed. I imagine how one words the question is more important than usual when determining this sort of thing. Needless to say, the number is repugnantly high.

I didn't mean to post so mistakenly but I couldn't decide where to ask my question. I'm sorry.

Thank you for the link. I didn't phrase my searches correctly and got exactly nowhere.
