10/28: Pew Political IQ Poll: Republicans Consistently More Knowledgeable
Posted by Editor on October 28, 2009 · 3 Comments
You likely won’t see this poll result elsewhere, so I thought I’d highlight it here. This is a Pew Political IQ test conducted over the phone with 1,002 adults from Oct. 1-4. They were asked 12 questions, and answered an average of 5.3 questions correctly, according to Pew.
But here’s the part you likely haven’t heard about…
It doesn’t surprise me. Most of my friends are Dems and have little or no knowledge of the issues, except for snippits they hear or read on radio or tv. When I ask them about specific issues or bills they generally have no clue at all of what I’m speaking about.
I would have to agree with that. unfortunately, i find many who would agree with my position to be in the same boat. that is why it is so easy for them to be debunked, because they just believe whatever they are told if it comes form a certain source, and disbelieve everything that comes from certain other sources.
we all need to start getting knowledgable about the issues.
