But they can name all the contestants on “Dancing with the Stars”.
Elites want ignorant Americans. Easier to manipulate and to make them wards of the state (Rat voters).
I’ve seen similar polls in the past, in which many more people can name Judge Judy or Judge Wapner, than know who is on the Supreme Court.
It’s sad that so many are not well informed.
They also don’t know who their senators and congresspersons are. Heck, they can’t even identify the capital city of their own state.
That means one-third CAN name one.
Drat! Looks like the socialists need to finally get serious about destroying education.
Just curious - anybody know if Roberts has shown his face yet, after his traitorous, unconstitutional ruling?
I used to be able to name as many as five supremes. I seem to have recently forgot one of them, but the name still rings a distant bell.
Oh, I can also name 4 or 5 “people” that seem to usually be sitting with them nearby on the bench.
Larry, Moe, Curly, Joe, Curly Joe and Shemp.
I can only name nine. That must be about half of them. Right?:>)
Of course they can’t. Only the President can name a Supreme Court justice.
He asked a limited number of callers to quickly name one justice. The percentage of those who could was slightly above the 20% mentioned in the article.
The higher average was undoubtedly due to the fact that many were Rush listeners bleeding over to the ensuing Schnitt Show and also were listeners to the weakly-conservative Schnitt himself.
Thanks heavens for talk-shows. Too many people stop learning after they leave school, but at least they listen to the radio when their ears aren't glued to their cell phones.
I can't fathom folks not knowing the name of a single one of the Supremes....but then, again, as a highly-educated freeper, and as a watcher of the Jesse Watters segments on the Factor, I guess I can fathom it quite easily.
Some outstanding citizens of the good old U S of A probably can't even name the president of their own country.

Most Americans are completely uninformed idiots. But we already knew that.
I would ask questions like the aforementioned Supreme Court justice question. Or perhaps, 'please recite the Preamble to The Constitution'. Maybe, 'how many amendments are in the Bill of Rights?'
I dare say, I would not have to give away much money at all. If any.
all that matters is they know which circle to fill in to get free stuff.
I guess the sort of good news is that of the 34% who could name any, the average number named was 3. Being able to name the President, Vice-President, both of one’s Senators, at least eight other Senators, one’s Representative, at least five othrer Representatives, one’s governor, and two-thirds of the members of the supreme court would seem to be a reasonable minimal standard for voting that would likely reduce the possible electorate by about 75% (I imagine 10% could do this spontaneously, and another 15% would be able and willing to get up to speed).
Scalia, Thomas, Kennedy, Ginsburg, Stevens, Breyer, Pagan, Sodomizer, and he whose name shall not ever be mentioned again.
That’s off the top of my head, no google employed.
Breyer is certainly the hardest to remember
Most Americans won’t care until it’s all gone. The ignorance is mind boggling.
Hey that's seven. How'd I do?
They should have asked me.
I call a number of the justices some very appropriate names all the time.
