Politicians May Be A Dumb As We Think They Are
Elected officials scored lower than the general public on a web test of civic knowledge. The
test results showed a consistent knowledge gab for politicians across some 33 questions. In all cases the average score of citizens was higher than that of the politicians.
The test is located at
http://www.americancivicliteracy.org/resources/quiz.aspx and prepared by the Intercollegiate Studies Institute, American Civic Literacy Program. Take the quiz and see whether your scores are higher than a politician. Chances are they will be.
