Many Americans believe in ESP: 48% in the latest Economist/YouGov Poll say they do, while 29% do not. Women are more likely than man to believe, and Democrats are more likely than Republicans to believe.

There is more belief in ESP than in ghosts or reincarnation (more Americans don't believe in them than do); but less belief in ESP than in deja vu.
