"You answered 13 of 13 questions correctly."

That doesn't surprise me. I consider myself reasonably well-informed. What surprises and alarms me is that only one percent of the 1,062 Americans that Pew surveyed could do likewise.

I missed 4 and only feel embarrassed about one – core something-or-other

12 of 13. I was wrong on the Supreme Court question on who had the most swing decisions.

13 of 13.

Unless you count the last three questions... I got those correct as well.

Bah! You answered 11 of 13 questions correctly.
See below how your results compare with the 1,052 randomly sampled adults who took part in our national survey and review how you responded to each question. For more findings from the survey, read "What the Public Knows – In Words, Pictures, Maps and Graphs."
You scored better than 91% of the public, below 4% and the same as 5%.

It's sad that only 1% know that much. It's really sad that 65% missed six questions.

But this is the country that elected Obama twice, so....

And Bush.

Our country has been dumb for quite a while now.
