The general public in the USA is split roughly three ways:
- Those who hold to a more or less literal reading of the Biblical account (some 30%)
- Those who accept a naturalistic evolution (another 30%)
- Those who believe in a form of theistic evolution (some 20%)
(The remaining 20% didn't say.)
Note that these figures are completely different if one polls only the higher educated people, or the scientific community, where support for evolution is pretty much complete.
It's not always a contradiction for an evolutionary biologist to believe in God or a religious person to believe in evolution. In Judaism, for example, there are some theories, interpretations and beliefs which actually compromise between the two schools.

Absolutely not. Darwinism is a secular model - it does not make any statements for or against any deity. Many christians and other theist have seen ways to reconcile acceptance of such scientific models with their theistic beliefs.
Genesis seems to impact our culture today by creating a divide between people who believe in creationism and people who believe in evolution. This divide angers many people who are religious and many who are not religious.
