If you want to have a favorable interpretation of this one:

Even in the wording of this question: Americans have been propagandized to believe that the American system of "Democracy" is far and away the best form of a democratic government if not indeed the only possible form of a democratic government.

This result isn't necessarily that a third of Americans want a fascist dictatorship so much as it is that they have made the determination that the form of government they live under absolutely fucking sucks.
