12 out of 12, but I confess that the troop level answer was a guess. An educated guess, but still a guess.

I missed one. The question on unemployment.

However, the Pew answer is wrong. The ACTUAL unemployment rate is closer to 20% than 10%.

So, I’m giving myself a 100

[ConservativeWarrior]

Missed troops, health care cost, and unemployment.

In my defense, I think “cost” of health care is greater if you factor in the loss of freedom.

Also, I think unemployment is much higher than just 10%.

Isn’t PEW leftwing?

Why does the blue man reading a paper look hunched as if sitting on a toilet?

[gigster]

12/12. Better than 98% of others.
Seriously, if you can’t get 75% right, you shouldn’t get a vote.

[LearsFool]

Is PEW trying to tell us what knowledge is vital to the well-being of our country?

Sorry, I won’t fall for it.

12 out of 12.

The two largest groups got only 3 or 4 out of 12. Just frigging pathetic. Our government is chosen by ignorant morons.

But it’s extremist to believe people should have to take a standardized civics & U.S. Constitution test before they are allowed to vote.

9 of 12 questions right, I made 82%. :( The ones I missed I couldn’t decide between the right answer and the wrong one I answered.

11 of 12. I guess I missed the healthcare Committee Chairman thing.

[Pessimist]

12/12 for me, though I wasn’t positive about Baucus or the troop level.

Guess I’m a good guesser! :)

Man, it’s shocking how few people even know what cap & trade is about. Including college grads.

[EmilyGeiger]

I missed the same ones you did!

[proudmilitarymrs]

12 outta 12!! Many thanks to FreeRepublic and El Rushbo!

I got 10/12 correct, 89% - I missed the Max one and the comparing US and European health spending

[PoloSec]

11 of 12...unemployment... I knew the official numbers were 10% but I also know the truth...20%...I will not compromise the truth just to get the highest score

If you missed one or more it is.

[jwparkerjr]

I missed the same one. Thought there was 150,000 now.
