I wonder what the exact question on astrology was. Is 41% the fraction that believes that horoscopes are real, that doesn't know the difference between astrology and astronomy, that believes that astrologers use scientific methods, or some combination?
I was thinking the same thing. "10% of Americans think Astrology is the name for Astronomy, 10% of Americans believe horoscopes are real, 10% of Americans believe that Astrologers use something like science in their studies and so 'not at all scientific' is inaccurate, and 10% of the respondents were joking" seems much less implausible.
