        That still leaves 88% who could though. And I'm guessing the others got messed up by the naming. Only 36% success rate on this one.

        That's the most positive way to look at it I suppose. People don't remember that information because there is no need to remember that info.

        Pass basic civics and geography tests, you can vote. Can't? Not so much. Immigrants are far more intelligent than this 64% of "Americans"

        Thank you Obama for making schools centers of liberal political indoctrination rather than teaching geography.

        The lack of proper education affected all students, democrats and republicans alike. Schools MUST go back to teaching.

        Those unlikely to support diplomacy are the uninformed and uneducated. Trump won the uneducated. Stick to the article.

        The article is wrong. Conservatives tend to be more educated than liberals.

        No...Trump won voters who may earn more because they are the blue collar guys. Truck drivers, mechanics etc. BUT they are NOT more educated

        A college degree is NOT a sign of education, especially when graduates can't even read their own diplomas.
