The article talks a bit about the distinction between mis- and dis-information, but not at all about how they distinguished between them in the survey, if they did at all. I suspect not.
A lot of it surely is disinformation, especially that disseminated by politicians who are well-enough educated to understand that what they are saying isn’t true, just politically convenient.
And we’ve institutionalized disinformation by allowing proven nonsense like homeopathy. It’s outright fraud, but it’s perfectly legal.
