A recent CNN poll estimated that many Americans do not understand the extent of funding for public broadcasting. Some believe it is as high as 5% of the federal budget. That would make the amount set aside at $178 billion. The actual amount is closer to $500 million or .00014 percent of the federal budget. A majority of Americans believe public broadcasting should maintain its current level of funding or get more.
