Are liberals less informed? Study indicates the answer is yes.

I read the article.  Aside from the obvious political slant of it, I was troubled that they based 'less informed' on who could name Pelosi as speaker of the house.  THAT is the guideline for being informed?

Yes, in a room with 50 liberals and 50 repubs, I would entirely expect more of the conservatives (older and more likely to watch fox demonize her all day) than liberals (at the club, raising kids, or watching other channels).

Education doesn't matter, but ability to recognize one person demonized on FOX does?  Interesting...

i'd like to see a poll with Qs about history, american politics, lawmaking, and math/science too - in order to see which party is better informed.

however, pelosi?  THAT is their question?  She's demonized daily on FOX news... horrible horrible poll here.  I was excited to see a poll showing repubs defeating libs in terms of being informed.  But, Pelosi?   Weak shit.

It's a study from the Pew Research Center.

The point is, no matter what you want to convince people of, there is some idiotic poll or study somewhere that will "prove" it.  Republicans are dumb, Democrats are dumb, whatever.  Cast your fucking vote and shut up.

and they cite regocnization of pelosi as their measure of "being informed".

Seing as msnbc barely and rarely mentions pelosi - and FOX demonizes her on a very frequent basis, I can understand the results.

Surely there are better want sto measure "being informed".  I mean, talk about cherry picking a Q you like, and using it to make your argument. 

I agree that ppl from both parties are idiots.

If you don't know who the Speaker of the House is or who the House Minority leader is then you are not well informed.  As I mentioned before all polls and studies are bullshit but your criticism of this one is weak. 

MSNBC voters are well informed.....about homosexuals and abortion rights, lol.  FOX has their slant and MSNBC has theirs.  Today if people don't seek out information on their own and weed through it then they are in trouble because everyone is trying to sell bullshit of some kind.
