Zogby Poll: Almost No Obama Voters Ace Election Test
Survey finds most Obama voters remembered negative coverage of McCain/Palin statements but struggled to correctly answer questions about coverage associated with Obama/Biden
UTICA, New York -- Just 2% of voters who supported Barack Obama on Election Day obtained perfect or near-perfect scores on a post election test which gauged their knowledge of statements and scandals associated with the presidential tickets during the campaign, a new Zogby International telephone poll shows.
Zogby Statement on Ziegler poll:
Only 54% of Obama voters were able to answer at least half or more of the questions correctly.
The 12-question, multiple-choice survey found questions regarding statements linked to Republican presidential candidate John McCain and his vice-presidential running-mate Sarah Palin were far more likely to be answered correctly by Obama voters than questions about statements associated with Obama and Vice-President–Elect Joe Biden. The telephone survey of 512 Obama voters nationwide was conducted Nov. 13-15, 2008, and carries a margin of error of +/- 4.4 percentage points.
The survey was commissioned by John Ziegler, author of The Death of Free Speech, producer of the recently released film "Blocking the Path to 9/11" and producer of the upcoming documentary film, Media Malpractice...How Obama Got Elected.
"We stand by the results our survey work on behalf of John Ziegler, as we stand by all of our work. We reject the notion that this was a push poll because it very simply wasn't. It was a legitimate effort to test the knowledge of voters who cast ballots for Barack Obama in the Nov. 4 election. Push polls are a malicious effort to sway public opinion one way or the other, while message and knowledge testing is quite another effort of public opinion research that is legitimate inquiry and has value in the public square. In this case, the respondents were given a full range of responses and were not pressured or influenced to respond in one way or another. This poll was not designed to hurt anyone, which is obvious as it was conducted after the election. The client is free to draw his own conclusions about the research, as are bloggers and other members of society. But Zogby International is a neutral party in this matter. We were hired to test public opinion on a particular subject and with no ax to grind, that's exactly what we did. We don't have to agree or disagree with the questions, we simply ask them and provide the client with a fair and accurate set of data reflecting public opinion." - John Zogby
"After I interviewed Obama voters on Election Day for my documentary, I had a pretty low opinion of what most of them had picked up from the media coverage of the campaign, but this poll really proves beyond any doubt the stunning level of malpractice on the part of the media in not educating the Obama portion of the voting populace," said Ziegler.
Ninety-four percent of Obama voters correctly identified Palin as the candidate with a pregnant teenage daughter, 86% correctly identified Palin as the candidate associated with a $150,000 wardrobe purchased by her political party, and 81% chose McCain as the candidate who was unable to identify the number of houses he owned. When asked which candidate said they could "see Russia from their house," 87% chose Palin, although the quote actually is attributed to Saturday Night Live's Tina Fey during her portrayal of Palin during the campaign. An answer of "none" or "Palin" was counted as a correct answer on the test, given that the statement was associated with a characterization of Palin.
Obama voters did not fare nearly as well overall when asked to answer questions about statements or stories associated with Obama or Biden -- 83% failed to correctly answer that Obama had won his first election by getting all of his opponents removed from the ballot, and 88% did not correctly associate Obama with his statement that his energy policies would likely bankrupt the coal industry. Most (56%) were also not able to correctly answer that Obama started his political career at the home of two former members of the Weather Underground.
Nearly three quarters (72%) of Obama voters did not correctly identify Biden as the candidate who had to quit a previous campaign for President because he was found to have plagiarized a speech, and nearly half (47%) did not know that Biden was the one who predicted Obama would be tested by a generated international crisis during his first six months as President.
In addition to questions regarding statements and scandals associated with the campaigns, the 12-question, multiple-choice survey also included a question asking which political party controlled both houses of Congress leading up to the election -- 57% of Obama voters were unable to correctly answer that Democrats controlled both the House and the Senate.

while the BIG media has an Orgy Of Self-Congratulation
You beat me to it! This video is hilarious! Obama has to realize the only way he won this election is by the loyal & unflinching support of the dumbest bunch of douche bags ACORN could assemble.
And the consolation prize goes to the stupid Republican Party for rising to the occassion and running a crusty, old, rich, white man; effectively fulfilling the stereotypical Republican Party image. Thanks for playing, GOP!
And just yesterday McCain was already giving the Chimp-in-Chief the reach-around, promising to work together. What a guy! I guess he just can’t help himself....
Obama has the mandate of stupid people.
***Good place to bump this thread.

DUH!!!!! What wa da quershun?
Bump.....
This stupid, lazy, godless nation now have their stupid, lazy and godless president.
Damn idiots. I wonder how the McCain-Palin voters would do on the same survey. Did they look only at Obama supporters?
The dumbing down of America by the DemocRATS and their “teachers” unions appears to have worked.
Don't be silly. These fools will think its the REPUBLICANS because the media will make sure that is what they think. Talk about the “educated elite” in this country. These are idiots, folks!
No I don’t think we could get to them. I workin a school with 125 techers. Ten that I know of voted for McCain. The others besides being Obama supporters were unable to explain with any detail his plan for change. Unable to tell me why they were voting for Obama beyond “change” which they could not explain. I don’t think we could get to them.
ping
gosh, you could knock me over with a feather.
Goes to show that the negative advertising given free to the Obama campaign by the MSM worked.
“Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.”
It is my firm belief that intelligence is in fact quite evenly distributed. The stupidest person in the world is not that much less intelligent than the smartest. My point is that intelligence is here not the point.
I hold that the main reason so many people know so little and are so wrong about what they think they do know is that they are amazingly lazy and so were their instructors (parents first, then the 'teachers' hired to babysit them through their teens). This laziness is directly due to the unnatural amount of national peacetime we have enjoyed. The left likes to preen about how many wars we've been involved in, but the really important fact is that none of those wars happened in any signficant way in the American homeland. We had the horrific Twin Tower catastrophe, to be sure, and that is the exception that tests the rule: name the second one of such importance that people did more than cluck their tongues in dismay or disapproval and then mildly clapped while the perpetrator was executed.
That kind of complacency is exaclty what leads to utterly lazy thinking, the kind that assumes that the way things are is the way they always have to be and there is no limit to the danger that can be courted socially, economically and politically because our way of life is so impervious to any real damage. In such an environment, people casually vote in an immature, naive Marxist simply so they can say they voted for the first (at least partly) black President.
Sure, that looks stupid on stilts, but people really aren't that stupid: they know what they have done and as some have pointed out, they expect to be well-paid for their efforts, however minimal in fact. They have bought the principle that Obama can rip off the Treasury for them and will do so on the backs of people these voters have always resented and always will want to cut down. They want to share in the rich spoils of the war on the rich and want to have to do nothing in particular to achieve it.
That's lazy, not stupid, IMHO.
If one is too lazy to apply their own intelligence, how does that make them NOT stupid?
Isn’t it true that the blindest man is the one who will not see?
Anyone have the cash to buy a TV network?
If people can recover from cults, they can be rescued from voting democrat. You have to remain calm and present them with facts, you will see rage from them, it’s cognitive dissonance. You are destroying their reality and it will take them time to come arounde.
You have to be the adult and you have to be patient, politically they are emotional and intellectual children, chip away at them.
