US Republicans More Knowledgeable Than Democrats

So Republicans are more knowledgeable than Democrats, contrary to what many would like to believe. 

According to whom?  None other than the Pew Research Center, a left-of-center organization.  Moreover, Pew’s latest survey only reaffirms previous surveys demonstrating the same result. 

In fact, the results weren’t even close. 

In a scientific survey of 1,168 adults conducted during September and October of last year, respondents were asked not only multiple-choice questions, but also queries using maps, photographs and symbols.  Among other subjects, participants identified international leaders, cabinet members, Supreme Court justices, nations on a world map, the current unemployment and poverty rates and war casualty totals. 

In a 2010 Pew survey, Republicans outperformed Democrats on 10 of 12 questions, with one tie and Democrats outperforming Republicans on just 1 of the 12.  In the latest survey, however, Republicans outperformed Democrats on every single one of 19 questions.

Contrary to what everyone believes, except 26 people on this student blog, including the author.

It is also a pity, that when in power George W Bush increased the debt ceiling eighteen times and his father twelve. Kind of makes Obama's three times look a bit irrelevant.
Kind of also makes the conservatives look like debt junkies, for the benefit of their mates, and not all that smart after all.
