"Almost any look at what the average citizen knows about politics is bound to be discouraging. Political scientists are nearly unanimous on the subject of voter ignorance. The average American citizen not only lacks basic knowledge, but also holds beliefs that are contradictory and inconsistent." (AMERICAN SPECTATOR) This article focuses on the public's ignorance about politics and reports findings from a Gallup poll indicating that the majority of the public are more familiar with media facts and celebrity figures than government information.
