I'm most worried about the 7% that think Obama wrote the Declaration of Independence.

Wow. That’s pretty pathetic.
Two percent think MICHAEL Jackson wrote the Declaration.
Where did you find that graphic?
Do you have the graphic for the question about the first president?
Looking at the responses, I have to assume that they gave the kids choices. How else do you explain 2% saying that Michael Jackson wrote the Declaration of Independence, or that 4% think that the first 10 amendments to the Constitution are known as the Monroe Doctrine?
I just noticed that the responses to the question about the number of members of the U.S. Supreme Court add up to 100% (inclusive of “don’t know”), and the responses include 12, 10, 9, 8, 6 and 5 (all with between 5% and 21% of responses) but not, say, 7 or 50 or some other number that dumb kids might guess. So they definitely gave the kids choices for each question. And roughly 3/4 of the kids *still* couldn’t answer questions that my 3-year-old could answer.
Thanks for the charts. Now I’m hoping the surveyists just got punked.
