The 12th question was tough, because the answer changed in the last 1 week or so. I wasn't sure if the poll would be up to date but it was.
 
LOL after seeing these stats I'm starting to think we need legislation requiring voters to pass an IQ test:

I suspect people who are smart or informed about current events are just as likely as the uninformed to seek handouts on the backs of others' toils. They're just less predictable.

In fact, were I a political animal, I'd look at the Pew results and sigh with relief. Then, I'd discuss guerilla's, ayzo's, and papajohn56's results with the DHS.
 
Pretty funny. 2% of the US population got 12/12 compared to 90%+ in this thread so far (provided you guys aren't cheating). WF rules.
 
11/12 missed #5 because I more or less tune out whatever the "big" issue at the moment is on the boobtube.

12/12. That was fun. I'm worried about the 6% that didn't get a single question right.
