The results from a 2018 survey published by YouGov polled 8,215 US adults. Approximately 18% of adults aged 18-24 years have some belief in a flat, or otherwise shaped, Earth. This is staggering considering that only 4% of adults aged 55 or older believe in a flat, or otherwise shaped, Earth.

Of those aged 18-24, around 2% have always believed in a flat Earth, and an additional 2% believe the Earth is flat with doubts. 5% prescribe to a sphetical-shaped Earth, but have doubts in the scientifically-established model.

The remaining 84% of adults aged 18-24 have always believed that the Earth is round, compared to 94% of those aged 55 and older.
