How the viewers scored on the three questions:
The New Yorker/Atlantic: 71 percent (correctly identified Democrats as the majority in the House), 71 percent (correctly identified Condoleezza Rice), 59 percent (correctly identified Gordon Brown)
NPR: 73 percent, 72 percent, 57percent
Hannity & Colmes: 84 percent, 73 percent, 49 percent
Rush Limbaugh: 83 percent, 71 percent, 41 percent
Colbert Report: 73 percent, 65 percent, 49 percent
Daily Show: 65 percent, 48 percent, 36 percent
NewsHour: 66 percent, 52 percent, 47 percent
O’Reilly Factor: 70 percent, 60 percent, 41 percent
C-SPAN: 63 percent, 59 percent, 35 percent
Letterman/Leno: 51 percent, 42 percent, 31 percent
CNN: 59 percent, 48 percent, 29 percent
National Enquirer: 44 percent, 32 percent, 22 percent
Isn’t that interesting? The left always tries to make out that Rush’s listeners are mind-numbing robots who have the intelligence of a mental midget and that he some kind of Pied Piper that leads them astray and makes them do something they don’t want to do like Operation Chaos.
Only 51% of Letterman/Leno viewers identified the Dems as in control of Congress...That means that 49% thought Republicans were in charge. This is mainstream America folks!
With only a 10% approval of Congress this explains why Republicans are down in the polls. Half of Americans think that the Republicans are in charge of Congress and they’re blaming them!
Sean Hannity should be proud. FReepers are always putting him down for intellectual challenges, but his audience is 1% smarter than Rush’s.
