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.[/quote]

Ohhhh pathetic pathetic argument, and I am against Trump!!!!! “You don’t really need such geography skills” - ouch. Glad you are not running public education. Or are you??  It’s the fault of our schools that most Americans don’t know this  (this is not college level info, btw).  However — My middle schoolers is studying Middle East geography right now, and I was very pleased to see that. [/quote]

Did you miss the "as much" part. Try reading more carefully next time. The information the human brain retains adjusts with available technology. No biggie.[/quote]

DP.  Then I guess you’d claim we no longer need to learn math, spelling, etc.  I mean, what are calculators and spellcheck for?   :roll: [/quote]

It's, whether you like it or not. I don't know why this is so shocking...

The more we have grammarly and other such apps, the worse people's skills in that regard will be when not relying on them. This should not be news. NEXT.[/quote]
