2.who cares

3. you mean this week or next?

I think Canada and Mexico matter more to the average citizen of the USA than the PM of the UK (though the UK does have nukes). I don't know the current mayor of London but know he has a Russian name, and Red Ken is gone.

Answers: the USA (34%), Canada (by far, then Saudi Arabia & Mexico, then Venezuela and Nigeria - no Iraq), Canada (at $563B to China's $387B, then Mexico at $347B (close to China's number)), Harper (Conservative/Tory), Fox & Calderon

I'm not sure why the media is arranged that way. Here is the order I get by totalling the three figures:

Hannity & Colmes: 206
NPR: 202
The New Yorker/Atlantic 201
Rush Limbaugh: 195
Colbert Report: 187
O’Reilly Factor: 171
NewsHour: 165
C-SPAN: 157
Daily Show: 149
CNN: 136
Letterman/Leno: 124
National Enquirer: 98

And I always thought Hannity and Colmes was one of the worst hours of television around.

More detailed results.

I don't think adding the %ages gives an accurate result - H&C were fourth overall in how many got all three right, for example.

My husband hates this show-I have watched it a few times, and what is annoying to me and more so to my husband is that even if somebody has something worthwhile to say, everyone is so busy shouting at each other that you aren't going to hear it anyway. Not to mention Hannity kind of annoys me. He sort of reminds me of an irritating yappy dog.

I think the fact that Hannity and Colmes would be at the top is why they listed it that way.

And I always thought Hannity and Colmes was one of the worst hours of television around.

You can kind of see a trend on the first question. Shows that like Democrats evidently don't push the fact they're in control of Congress, and shows that don't like Democrats make it a point to push that fact. I'd be willing to bet that the trend was evident in the opposite direction 2 years ago.

1. What are the three biggest expenses in the federal budget?

2. What is the treaty that the US, Canada, and Mexico are a part of, and what type of treaty is it?

3. Name the United States' three biggest trading partners.

Hannity & Colmes: 206

Rush Limbaugh: 195
Colbert Report: 187
O’Reilly Factor: 171
NewsHour: 165

CNN: 136
Letterman/Leno: 124
National Enquirer: 98

If I was asked to identify where I get my political or any news, I wouldn't be able to pick just one. I don't really watch anything on TV though-at least not political stuff.

Probably the respondents were asked about any of the sources they read/watch, and their answers count on all of those.

2.) Hu (I have no idea how to spell the last name) Jintao?

3.) I think it just rolled past the $10 Trillion mark, didn't it?

As for the actual report, I find it curious that the Colbert Report viewers did so much better than the Daily Show viewers.

I think the breakdown by type of media is interesting, but I wonder if that has any meaning. If I was asked to identify where I get my political or any news, I wouldn't be able to pick just one. I don't really watch anything on TV though-at least not political stuff.

1. Name the person third in line to be President.

2. Name the Premier of the People's Republic of China.

3. Within $1 trillion dollars, what is the national debt?

Or we can just revert to the three questions asked at the Bridge of Death.

But then I guess the really anomaly would be anyone who reads political blogs that didn't get all three right.
