I consider myself an agnostic theist. My wife is, I think, 100% sure there is a God. I think she's wrong, not wrong that there is no God but wrong in the sense that this is unknowable. I know people who are 100% sure there is no God; they're also wrong.
For those who answered the poll 100% either way, how in the world can you possibly know that? You can't.

I think, given the poll question, it was referring more to belief than actual provable fact. ie I think that there is definitely (not) a God. Doesn't mean you can prove it or not, it is just what you think.
Getting to the point of what you are saying, you can never be 100% sure of anything if you put things into a certain perspective, but that is not what the poll was intending to ask (at least IMHO).
Maybe we all live in the Matrix.
