Some Americans apparently believe that the U.S. declared its independence from Mexico in 1776, according to a poll released Tuesday. “A scattering of people mention France, Mexico and Germany among the longer list of countries,” said Dr. Lee Miringoff, Director of The Marist College Institute for Public Opinion.
The registered voters taking the poll didn’t do much better than the average — around 79 percent of those polled who are registered to vote answered the question correctly. Republican and Independent voters were slightly more knowledgeable about the founding of the country than Democrats. A full 82 percent of Republicans and 83 percent of Independents correctly identified Great Britain, while 72 percent of Democrats got the answer right, according to the data.
Holy crap could Democrats prove their stupidity even farther after this...After 28 percent of Democrats mostly think that America gained our Independence from Mexico in 1776. The really funny thing about America back in 1776...America didn't even border Mexico until the middle 1800's.
Paul Revere didn't warn Patriots in the 1700's that the green coats were coming, it was the redcoats. This once again just shows how lost the Democrat party is in America, when 28 percent of them think nations like Mexico is who America gained it's Independence from in 1776. According to this poll of Democrats just being stupid in general...Don't you think they should take a course in elementary social studies before they can even vote again?
