smarter than a 5th grader?
i have three questions for you:
- which party currently controls the house of representatives?
- who is the secretary of state?
- who is the the british prime minister?
according to a pew research center study based on the three questions, where you get your news can determine how well you know your politics.
readers of the the new yorker and the atlantic have the highest percentage of college graduates at 54% and got the highest percentage (48%) of all the questions right yet viewers of hannity & colmes, comprised of 31% college graduates, scored highest when you average the correct responses to the three individual questions. overall, only 18% of the 3,612 US adults answered all three questions correctly (which is sad in itself).
here’s the breakdown based on where participants get their news and how well they fared in the quiz:
btw, the answer is democrats (in the house), condoleezza rice (secy of state) and gordon brown (british pm). but since you are a sacredbird reader, i’m sure you already knew the answers.
