Many Roman Catholics don't use the term "born-again" like evangelicals do. It would probably have negative connotations to them. I'm surprised it wasn't 100%.
It would be like taking a poll and asking how many still believe in the eschatological significance of the eucharist after graduating college. If you aren't familiar with the terminology the answer doesn't matter.
That is how it is here in the N.E. We have a former Catholic at our church who literally despises the term "born-again". It's a phrase you simply learn not to use when talking to people in these parts. They either hate it or have no clue what you're talking about.
