Please post your score....I answered 10 out of the 12 correctly. This is a terrific test. And it shows results in a number of ways. It sure indicates that the majority of Americans don't know what's going on. No wonder our politicians take such advantage. Interesting and simple test. It's astonishing that so many people got less than half right. These results say that 80% of the (voting) public don't have a clue, and that's pretty scary . There are no tricks here - just a simple test to see if you are current on your information. Test your knowledge with the 12 questions, then be ready to shudder when you see how others did. http://pewresearch.org/politicalquiz/quiz/index.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
