Each year, Pew conducts its "What Do Americans Know" survey, which tests respondents on a series of questions. This year, the topics included the federal minimum wage, the territory occupied by ISIS, the Ukraine, Common Core educational proposals, fracking, where the Ebola virus is centered, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, the U.S. poverty rate, where Shiite Muslims outnumber Sunnis, who chairs the Federal Reserve, where the federal government spends most and the U.S. unemployment rate. Unsurprisingly, older adults demonstrated greater knowledge than their younger counterparts, as did better-educated respondents.
But buried at the bottom of the survey report lies the subject heading "Partisan Differences in Knowledge," which itemizes each question and the percentage of Republicans, Democrats and Independents who answered each one correctly.
So how stark were the partisan knowledge differentials?
Out of 12 questions asked, Republicans outperformed both Democrats and Independents on 10. The differences were most pronounced on the questions regarding Common Core, fracking and where Shiites outnumber Sunnis, where the percentage of Republicans answering correctly outpaced Democrats by double digits. But Republicans also outperformed Democrats on questions centering on the federal minimum wage and the Fed Chairwoman, even though she's a Democrat appointed by Obama, while the minimum wage is Democrats' favorite wedge issue this election year to try to keep Harry Reid (D - Nevada) as the Senate Majority Leader.
Democrats only outscored Republicans in naming the primary Ebola outbreak location and the federal poverty rate, but only by 2 and 5 percentage points, respectively.
It has been shown many times, the more progressive a person is the less the know about their own country and how it works, it's actually a fact, like gravity. You can not like it all you want, it simply does not change reality.No link....to biased story..Notice no disclaimer on scientific research...
Yeah, because MSNBC at 26% college grad differs greatly from 25% for Fox in polling.Reason's simple enough, Republicans are more informed because they're less-educated and need more. Fox viewers are the 2nd least college educated, only Jerry Springer fans are dumber.

Isn't Jerry Springer a life-long Democrat and a Jew to boot. I would think he would be something you'd aspire to, given the disturbing nature of your posts. I'll wager almost all of his audience is Democrat. They're that stupid!

How do you tell a Liberal - someone who can't tell the difference between Marx and Lenin and Marx and LenonHow do you tell a communist? Well, it's someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It's someone who understands Marx and Lenin.
