  From your link: "...who is the Vice President of America? (29 per cent did not know)" So the majority of Americans do indeed know who the vice president is. (Although yes, a large minority don't.)

    The data is from the US Citizenship test, so those taking it aren't "Americans" yet and have been specifically studying for the test. I stand by my assertion that the majority of Americans have no clue who Biden is and I swear to you, I wish I didn't either. The whole political arena is absolutely revolting and I'm not surprised the majority of people are apathetic to it.

      Actually it says they gave the citizenship test to 1000 Americans to see how they would do. 29% didn't know who the VP was (so 71% did). 1000 isn't a massive sample, but I expect it's enough to say that the majority of American adults do know. Anyway, it isn't a very interesting discussion regardless.

  > Stumped: In the U.S. citizenship test, only 38 per cent of Americans passed > Although the majority passed, more than a third - 38 per cent - failed, Daily Mail is fucking useless.

    LOL, that's funny. I'll admit I saw a few articles on this survey and the Daily Mail's was first on my results list. Does cringing while posting it lend forgiveness? ;)
