In this day and age of information, how could the percentage of ignorance be going up?

This gallup poll from 1999 suggests that 20% of Americans believed that the sun revolves around the earth.

However this poll from Feb 2012 suggests that number has gone up to 25%.

How could even one person think that the sun revolves around the earth?
