The Public Takes a News Quiz ... and Doesn't Do So Well -- Politics DailyOne question that always comes to mind when reading a poll: How much does the public know about the issues and current events it is being asked about, particularly complex ones like health care?
The Pew Research Center looked for some answers by giving 1,002 adults a news quiz, conducted Oct. 1-4. (You can take the quiz yourself here, but no cheating by looking first at the results which are below.)
The quiz included 12 multiple-choice questions and those who took it answered an average of 5.3 questions correctly.
The quiz here.
Is this a comment on the intelligence of Americans or the ineptness of the establishment media?
I have the belief it's a combination of both.
