<< Among the most uninformed voters, Clinton achieved his margin of victory, winning 53% to 33%. >>

Ahhhhhh, doesn't the working man have great incite! Most think that you can't trust what the politicians say or do. Most are working so hard that they don't have time, or the energy, to research issues.

Of course, the Republicans by hiding behind the closed doors of the Senate gave us "working class" Americans less confidence in our government.

<< ... incumbent Democrats have a natural 7% "ignorance bonus" of
voters who actually vote against their own beliefs and interests. >>

The elite look at this as "the glass is half empty", by calling it the "ignorance bonus". One could look at it as "the glass is half full" by saying that democrats are willing to sacrifice their beliefs and interests in order to put the best person in office.

<< "almost half failed to identify the speaker of the House" >>

And the other half wished that they didn't know who the speaker of the House was! <g>
