Taken from http://www.americancivicliteracy.org/... , the following test was administered to 2,508 people across the nation. The results?
More than 2,500 randomly selected Americans took ISI’s basic 33 question test on civic literacy and more than 1,700 people failed, with the average score 49 percent, or an "F." Elected officials scored even lower than the general public with an average score of 44 percent and only 0.8 percent (or 21) of all surveyed earned an "A."
Absolutely stunning folks. 68% of 2,508 people failed.
