Just two percent of voters felt the businessman could be in genuine danger, while a further 11% admitted his outlandish claims just don't add up.
That left an inconsequential one percent to admit they didn't know, one way or the other.
An overwhelming 86% of you have dismissed elaborate claims that Lee Andrews , the currently missing fourth husband of former glamour model Katie Price , has been kidnapped

Price's close friend and former Apprentice contestant Luisa Zissman, who relocated to Dubai last year, has joined the search for Andrews, claiming she is on a mission to find him.
Sharing an update with social media followers, she said: 'Guys its the end of day one of looking for Lee Andrews in this missing persons case. I'm trying to bring Katie Price's husband home.
'So, discovered a few things, he was seen as "active" on Facebook messenger six hours ago, which does indicate his kidnappers are definitely letting him have access to social media.
'Makes you wonder why he hasn't reached out to ask for help. Who knows. But I did see that whilst I did some digging on Facebook.'
Price revealed her husband had vanished over the weekend, five days after she last heard from him, and claimed he was 'detained in a van with his hands tied' after his disappearance.
The former glamour model has now released her last communication with Andrews in the hope it will help track him down, while his mother, Trisha has issued a desperate plea for his return.
In messages sent from 12.36am (Gulf Standard Time) to 1.01am (GST) last Thursday morning, he told her: 'Been arrested. I'll be in touch. I'm ok xx.'
Price replied within five minutes asking him: 'Where? Why? I'm worried.'
Andrews also shared his live location and told her to contact the embassy and that he was being taken to a 'black site'.
The Sun also reports he gave his father's number to Price as an emergency contact.
The live location then ended with the message: 'Keep that on babe. Love you'.

: 'Katie has been completely spiralling, as you can imagine. This is NOT a publicity stunt – as if she needs any more PR – and no matter what Lee has or hasn't done, she still loves him.
'These WhatsApps prove that she is as blindsided as the rest of us as to Lee's movements. She is not in on it, whatever "it" is.
'She wants anyone with information to contact her or the police with information that might help find him.'
Meanwhile, Andrews' mum Trisha, 61, has given her first interview since his disappearance.
Asked if she believed Price's theory he had been kidnapped, she told the publication: 'I don’t know, he could have been. I’ve not seen the video.
'I don’t know the laws out there but I wouldn’t have thought they’d use cables. Wouldn’t they put handcuffs on?'
It comes after The Sun suggested Andrews has not been kidnapped, but is instead squatting in a run-down villa in Dubai.
He is said to be talking to a few of his 'trusted network' on a burner phone and is 'frantically planning a route out of this ginormous hole he appears to have buried himself in'.
Andrews was due to reunite with his wife for a Good Morning Britain interview on Monday, but failed to get on a flight and later claimed he had 'things to do' but was still on his way. He also firmly denied reports he had a travel ban.
Price, who married Andrews in January following a whirlwind ten-day romance, then branded their relationship a 'soap opera' after he .
The Dubai-based businessman is wanted by Interpol, after Hertfordshire Police – who had been previously investigating claims from an ex-girlfriend – escalated their case.
