The riddle has been around for a long time, but there is no evidence that research was ever conducted on the comparative answers of Kindergartners and Stanford University seniors.
There is also no evidence that this was reported on Paul Harvey.

Nothing is greater than God or more evil than Satan. Poor people have nothing, and rich people need nothing; they have everything. If you eat nothing, you'll die.

Duh. IF asked the same questions separately, anyone would say nothing. If you put it into a riddle, it's harder because you have to look for a common answer for the multiple questions.
No kindergarten kid is going to answer a riddle like that.
