Nearly two-thirds of those surveyed got 6 or less correct out of 12. How did you do? http://pewresearch.org/politicalquiz/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lostfan Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 12/12. Hardest one was knowing who the chairman of the Senate finance committee is, and the exact troop levels in Afghanistan, but I happened to be watching CNN last night after Obama's speech where they said his increase would bring it to 100k.

DukeNukeEm Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 11/12, I f***ed up the Afghanistan one because I thought it was asking how many troops Obama was adding. I should get more off for not even reading the question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
