"signed with DNSSEC" is an ambiguous statement. You need to take into account that, while nameservers may enable DNSSEC, resolvers may:

(a) validate (include the AD bit) but strip the RRSIGs (i.e. regular DNSSEC resolver)

(b) omit the AD bit but include the RRSIGs (i.e. you have to validate yourself)

(c) omit the AD bit and omit the RRSIGs (i.e. regular non-DNSSEC resolver)

(d) validate (i.e. include the AD bit) and include the RRSIGs (i.e. alleluia!)

My own study [0] (using the Atlas network [1]) found 30% of resolvers doing (a), and 65% doing (b), including some overlap. There are people way more qualified than me doing this kind of stuff, namely APNIC's Geoff Huston, see [2] for instance.
