Well to be fair other polls seem to suggest slightly larger or smaller percentages. Any for both Americans and Britons they all mostly seem to say that 50 to 60% of the countries' populations reject evolution, i.e. approximately 1 in 2 to 1 in 1.7.
Those statistics are true. However, the American poll says that only 40% of Americans completely reject evolution, which is more in line with what I would expect.
