Al, A total of 94% think God exists, but only 87% of conservatives and 67% of liberals do, women82% men73%, etc......how does one get to a total of 94% overall when none of the groups exceed 94%?

From the article:

But how strongly do the believers believe? Nearly 8 in 10, in fact, say they are "convinced" God exists, although Gallup does not ask them why that is.

Conservatives are more likely to be convinced than liberals (87% vs. 61%), women a little more likely than men (82% vs. 73%), and residents of the South more than those in the East (88% vs. 70%).

There's your answer. The breakdown relates to those who are "convinced" that God exists, not just those who just "think" God exists.
