Thanks Charity. Their press release did not use the wording of the report, hence confusion.

@Charity: Ah! Clarifications. That's what I like to see.

Now. 1000 Americans. I wonder how many of those follow GaryVee on twitter.

Um, that was 93% of American respondents, not 93% of Americans. I read the report. Go here: http://tinyurl.com/44vq26 and you can view the whole report. 1,092 surveyed, 525 men, 567 women.

@Annie: Agreed, I certainly wasn't a part of the survey group, were you? There you go.

Ahhh, poor and inaccurate wording in the release. It likely should have stated "93 percent of Americans SURVEYED" because I highly doubt that Cone or whomever conducted the survey beat the US Census bureau to their own game and actually surveyed every single American. Wait a second. I know they didn't survey every American because I was not surveyed. Cone, you're a PR agency and you are not a new one: time to do a refresher on the fundamentals of press release writing for staff and better read your releases during the approval process.

I would love to see the questions asked and the medium they used to conduct the survey.

I bet it was a facebook app.....
