I correctly answered 11 of 13 questions on the @pewresearch News IQ Quiz. Test yourself:: Quiz yourself on current events to see how well you keep up with the news. Compare your results to those who took our national survey.

For a father of two, full time employee and husband, I run a very busy life.  I scored above 91% of Americans and that saddens me.  It makes me realize just how out of touch Americans are with the ongoings of the world.  How can people make educated decisions if they are this uneducated?  Honestly, I don't spend heaps of time reading and researching, except on specific articles I write.  I am sure many of my readers will score higher than I did!

Is Anybody Out There?





Trend: Americans' Familiarity With the Affordable Care Act

How out of touch are Americans? Despite partial implementation of Obamacare and the continuous talk about it, public knowledge has changed little.  It appears that some prefer to walk around in a cloud of cluelessness, regardless of the impact on their life.  If there was one piece of legislation that one should be familiar, it would be Obamacare. After all, this is the largest piece and impact legislation in a LONG time.
