People struggle with percentages, notes @anthlittle.bsky.social, so different question designs can help: bsky.app/profile/anth...
I think some of this is driven by the fact that people don’t understand percentages very well, and give better answers if you ask “Out of 100, how many are X” (though the general pattern still holds)

“Faulty estimates result from a combination of innumeracy, as well as our brain’s tendency to remember what and whom we consider novel. For transgender people, that makes for a ‘perfect storm. It's a really tiny proportion of the population, and it's in the news.’“ www.politifact.com/article/2023...
Why do we overestimate the number of trans people in the US?
State legislators introduced hundreds of 2023 bills targeting transgender Americans and affecting access to health care,

Americans have a weird cognitive bias.
People make incorrect estimates about the population. Crazy incorrect. For instance, they think 21% of the country is trans, 40% is black, and 30% lives in NYC. . . . 1/7
