Unfortunately, I think it reflects the view of a substantial section of the US public, but I'm not sure how large a section that is, percentage-wise. There is a difference between the coasts and the hinterland, cities and country. The Bible Belt is scary, and I think those sort of people find it very difficult to imagine other mindsets and ways of life. A huge proportion of people have never been out of the US.
