Protecus: Prophet of Certain Certainties; +28|6535

An interesting little Pew Poll on current events

The most interesting part is the data breakdown at the end. I scored 82% higher than the National average. Which is pathetically sad, cuz these are some no brainer, I actually get out of bed in the morning, I'm not in a coma, questions.

My age group averaged 28%. God in heaven, my peers are retarded.

Have at it, how up to date are you?

I got 49%, which for a Euro not knowing much/at all about U.S domestic issues is IMO quite good (National unemployment rate & some people were impossible for me to know). The average in the U.S. for my age group is 50% which is alarmingly low.

Here's Your Score: You correctly answered 12 of the 12 possible questions along with approximately 6% of the public. You did better than 94% of the general public.

Had to guess the bailout car company but the rest was pretty easy if you have followed the news the last year ...

59th percentile.

3 wrong guesses. Becuase I did have to guess a few. I'm 30% over the averages for my age and for my education level. Good luck with that America.

Didn't know which of the big three had received bailout money, didn't know the current SecTres' name and didn't know where the Dow Jones was sitting as its not vital to me.

Whoa... Can't believe these forums are still kicking.

If that was aimed at me, my 'good luck with that America' comment is aimed at the fact that Democracy doesn't work if people don't pay attention.

Something that pisses me off quite a bit about my peer group. All vote. None really know that much about politics or policies.

11/12.

That's only 'cos I misread the question about debt. I thought it was who owes the most to the US, not who the US owes most to. That's what I get for not reading the question right.

Very few people do know much about politics, most vote for venal self-interest too.
