2/9.

Told you I would fail.

I would have gotten at least 7 right if I would have went with the first thing that popped into my head.

I only got 3 out of 9. I also second guessed some of them after I saw I had gotten the previous one wrong. I think maybe I would have done better if I hadnt seen each answer until the end. I dont see how missing some of those is supposed to indicate political leanings..like the life expectancy one, I was only off by two years.

This is why polls are just flim-flam. They are all about money. It is just like "Stock Analysts." All Sales. You sell your ability to add credence to a cause and you do that by carefully doctored questions.

Then there is this matter of information, not perception. We are lied to across the board, yet we have the best press "freedoms."

Of course, people in this world don't have correct perceptions based on the lies we are told every day.

And Pad, you are a part of the lies.
