And how many of the people who said they wouldn't have problems with mortgage payments said that because they rent and therefore don't have mortgage payments? "Don't have a mortgage" should have been one of the answers to this question.

The no mortgage group werent excluded - they are the 36% for whom it is N/A. This means the real number in trouble is 21%.

Buctootin, genius. The Times reported 21% were worried about their mortgage, which is presumably 14 divided by (100 minus 36). actually that's nearer 22%, but hey.
