Only 28%
Only 20% of women below the average (men were 38%, nearly double)
27% of democrats (28% of republicans and 31% of independents)

College educated were more successful (only 38% which shows me college fails us as a country)

So it appears a majorly of women Democrat voters bitching about Trumps policies cannot even point to Iran on a map.

Meh, this is a bit silly. You don't really need to know exactly where Iran is on a map to know how/why bombing it might matter? Also, with technology, you don't really need such geography skills as much when you can look it up in 5 seconds if you wanted to.

If you are making the broader point that much of the voting populace is under-informed...well, duh.

How incredibly pathetic that you actually believe this.

Do you have an actual argument to make, Miss Independent? Or just outrage and name calling? Same thing is happening with spelling, grammar and even ability to navigate roads. It'll probably happen with foreign language skills eventually. When was the last time you used a map or compass to get somewhere?

I use maps all the time. I’m a cartographer. Do even know what that means?

It’s an honest thread...the data is there.

It shows how uneducated people are. An the fact most college educated cannot point to Iran is even more disturbing. I fully get some backwoods inbred - but a “college” educated person?

Honestly I know enlisted military members with more geopolitical knowledge of the region than I do college educated armchair politicians.

The data supports the assertion that Americans are generally terrible at identifying other countries on a map. They also tend to suck at identifying the states in America. This old news. The data does not support the assertion that female Democrats are the worst. Democrats were no worse than Republicans (27% vs 28% with a margin of error of 2% = no difference). Beyond that, you'd have to be careful about other conclusions. The data does not indicate the breakdown of the number of people polled in each category. For all we know, the men were better educated as a rule in the sample and that is why they did better than women in the sample. You get the idea.

Right, and there are NEVER daily threads attacking Trump voters or Republicans in general that are probably started by female Democrats. You can certainly dish it out, but seem unable to take it. How very curious.

Not Trump, though. Bet he can't identify Iran on a map. Heck, he think we need a border wall south of Colorado. And I do wonder how many Trumpsters thought.. " Yea, build that wall along Colorado!".

Trump couldn't correctly color the map of the American flag with a group of young kids. Pick your battles OP.

I can kind of understand the ones that misidentified Iraq, Saudi Arabia, etc. as Iran...but multiple people identified various parts of the UK as Iran? That honestly shocks me!

Who said anything about race. It was an argument that males were more able to identify. Sounds like we uncovered the closet racist here...pssst...it’s you.

You sound like a super lame Trump apologist by complaining about Dem women. Yours is a very roundabout way to express your sexism.

Ok Karen

Keep diverting. You still haven't answered the questions. Go back to the basement in mommy's house.

I don’t need to know the 2000 year history of the Persian race to know since we got involved in the 50’s at the behest of the British to overthrow a socialist leader and support the Shah to know I already know more than most liberal women...and that’s a fact.

Regardless, the history of the Persians whether they were Persia, under the Ottomans or as a monarchy are irrelevant to the conversation.

Go back to watching the View and watching anti-vacation videos Karen

Be honest. Did you do a quick google before writing this? lol

Doubtful, since the poster doesn’t understand that Persian is an ethnicity rather than a race and that the Brits got the CIA to overthrow Mosaddegh because he nationalized the British oil industry.

You can see who starts each thread in the Political Forum?? Are you one of the mediums?



Wouldn't be a thread in the Political Forum without the requisite GOP whataboutism.

As a PP stated, most Americans, no matter their political views, are crap at world geography, let alone, geopolitics.

Yes...but liberal women are the worst...

I don't know. I'm thinking uneducated white male Trump supporters might not be all that up on world geography, either.

-signed a female Independent, former R

The data indicates they don’t understand either - but understand better

Please tell me where in the article it shows that uneducated white males understand it better.
