The Daily Caller reports Pew survey
results which conservatives will naturally like a lot. Their surveys show that Republicans have greater knowledge of politics than do Democrats. Here's their conclusion:
The Pew survey adds to a wave of surveys and studies showing that GOP-sympathizers are better informed, more intellectually consistent, more open-minded, more empathetic and more receptive to criticism than their fellow Americans who support the Democratic Party.
From whence do they believe this difference comes?
Pew’s data suggests that the Democrats’ low average rating likely is a consequence of its bipolar political coalition, which combines well-credentialed post-graduate progressives who score well in quizzes with a much larger number of poorly educated supporters, who score badly.
Many Dems are LIVs - low information voters - voting on gut-feelings rather than on knowledge. You can find the original
