I don't know who they asked those questions of? A bunch of the dummest people they could find I guess. Seriously, I could go and ask a bunch of old people with demnsia who the president is, and they would get it wrong, then I could throw their answers onto a spreadsheet and say that the general population has no idea who the president is...see what I did there? It's too easy to skew pole results, especially if you have a vested intetrest in it. From what I know about people who actually watch Fox, they are more knowledgeable about world events than those who watch other news networks. Generally because they are the ones also listening to talk radio, where they learn about events that the news media generally will not pick up because it doesn't go with their idealized version of the USA.
