Media Myth Debunked: Republicans Are More Informed About Politics Than Democrats

A consistent media contention is that liberals and Democrats are far more informed about politics than conservatives and Republicans.

A recent study from the Pew Research Center quite debunked this myth:
 
Republicans fare substantially better than Democrats on several questions in the survey, as is typically the case in surveys about political knowledge. The largest gaps are in awareness of which party is more supportive of reducing the size and scope of the federal government (30 points) and which party is more conservative (28 points).

This is definitely the case with the black dems. Here is a task that I did you should try.....ask random blacks if they are going to vote obama.then ask why.then ask them about a topic...I.e.how do they feel about oh say ...being arrested for saying things Gainst the government or martial law orders. Everyone I asked had no clue.and i asked about twenty five people.then ask what accomplishments they like about him....it gets more comical.

I told you.just random questions to random blacks.they were all clueless but happy with obama and going to vote again.i think there should be a test to vote.I asked one guy who obama ran against.his answer was I don't know.you should have to prove you actually even know what topics and issues are to be able to vote.I mean even foreigners applying for citizenship has to know whats going on.yet legal naturals are clueless.
