I was raised Christian so even though you learn that Earth was billions of years ago, when I was asked by my friends or teacher I would answer sometime in the last 10k years. A part of me was signaling and another part of me was trying to balance facts vs. faith.

That's exactly it. Polls like this can say a lot of things but whatever the wording what a large number of people read is "do you believe in God?" and they think the question is not being asked by some neutral questioner.
