Good questions. Gallup undertakes polls routinely to look for trends in society. While I'm sure they have clients who pay them to take surveys as requested, I think they also take surveys regularly on specific, common topics that they fund themselves. I know UFOs have been a Gallup societal poll topic going back nearly 50 years, I remember citing this Gallup poll on a report I did for an independent study course my senior year in high school.

People believe what they want to believe these days, even when their belief is demonstrably false. On any subject. They believe whatever their preferred authority figure tells them. The Age of Reason and critical thinking has passed.
