This came out in July, but seems relevant to this thread.

A couple things I'd feel the need to point out:
* The claim of skepticism winning out is a bit of a mirage here in a few cases. 48% accept that psychic or spiritual healing works, which is more than enough of a percentage to outweigh the 32% of those who outright don't believe. Belief/Nonbelief in the existence of ghosts is almost a wash.
* Witches are NOT a paranormal phenomena! Ok, women in wide-brimmed, pointed conical hats dancing around fires at midnight, riding flying broomsticks and casting effective spells is claptrap from a bygone age, but saying witches aren't real is like refusing to believe Catholics exist because you don't accept the claim Jesus was raised from the dead. Don't need a trip to the Vatican, and shouldn't need a visit to Salem Massachusetts, to show the reality of both groups.
Paranormal Phenomena Met With Skepticism in U.S.
Psychic healing and ghosts top Americans' paranormal beliefs, while most reject concepts like witches, astrology and reincarnation.
