liberals and conservatives were more likely to accept a conspiracy if it was in line with their ideology. Meanwhile, for conspiracies without clear political implications, such as whether or not the government is covering up a crashed saucer at Roswell (21 percent overall believe this) or whether Paul McCartney was killed in 1966 (5 percent overall), belief is roughly the same across the political spectrum. There’s also no political difference when it comes to basic conspiracy ideology, such as the tendency to think there are powerful secret forces at work in the world.
