No. The exact question wording was: “When does the Jewish Sabbath begin? Does it begin on Friday, Saturday or Sunday?” The Jewish Sabbath begins on Friday evening, at sundown, and continues until sundown on Saturday. Of the more than 200 Jewish respondents to the survey, 94% gave Friday as their answer to this question. Among the general public, however, just 45% got this question right.
