12 out of 12, but I confess that the troop level answer was a guess. An educated guess, but still a guess.

I missed one. The question on unemployment.
However, the Pew answer is wrong. The ACTUAL unemployment rate is closer to 20% than 10%.
So, I’m giving myself a 100

Missed troops, health care cost, and unemployment.
In my defense, I think “cost” of health care is greater if you factor in the loss of freedom.
Also, I think unemployment is much higher than just 10%.

Why does the blue man reading a paper look hunched as if sitting on a toilet?

12/12. Better than 98% of others.
Seriously, if you can’t get 75% right, you shouldn’t get a vote.

Is PEW trying to tell us what knowledge is vital to the well-being of our country?
Sorry, I won’t fall for it.

12 out of 12.
The two largest groups got only 3 or 4 out of 12. Just frigging pathetic. Our government is chosen by ignorant morons.
But it’s extremist to believe people should have to take a standardized civics & U.S. Constitution test before they are allowed to vote.

9 of 12 questions right, I made 82%. :( The ones I missed I couldn’t decide between the right answer and the wrong one I answered.

12/12 for me, though I wasn’t positive about Baucus or the troop level.
Guess I’m a good guesser! :)
Man, it’s shocking how few people even know what cap & trade is about. Including college grads.
