I don't understand where this question is coming from. How many Americans have you met who believe the moon landings were fake? For me that number is 0.

Beware of polls showing a small percentage of people believe something. Anything under 10% is subject to the Lizardman's Constant[0]; i.e., there are enough pranksters, people who misheard the question, et cetera, to form a measurable part of the population.
