78% of evangelical protestants know their American history and citizenship test answers --more than any other single group!
62% of Liberal Democrats passed the test. : D
70% of conservative republicans passed compared to 62% of the liberal democrats, 61 percent of GOP moderates, 55 percent of GOP liberals --which shows they don't know why Republicanism and liberalism are incompatible.) 62% of liberal and moderate democrats passed , but just 36% of conservative democrats (which proves my point that it is not smart to be both a democrat and a conservative --shows you don't know what democrats are about--like the pro-life lady democrat calling voters to support Obama when she didn't even know how extremely pro-abortion his record is.)

62% of the general public passed. 75% of people making over $100,000 a year passed. 41% of those making less than $20,000 a year passed. Which just proves there is a general correlation between education/knowledge and the ability to make money.
And yet, the libs are always saying how stupid the religious and conservatives are! Well, I guess we have them beat when it comes to knowledge of the USA and its gov't and history --just plain citizenship!
The test was conducted by Newsweek on 1000 citizens in February, 2011. They did it like the citizenship test --whereby 10 questions are asked from 100 possible questions. They posted 25 questions in the article. A person has to answer 6 out of 10 correctly to pass the real citizenship test. Granted, some questions would be easier to answer than others, but they would surely do a random questioning --not asking for the politics of the polled
until after the questions were asked.
