Survey Says Republicans Better Informed Than Democrats - Godfather Politics

Survey Says Republicans Better Informed Than Democrats - Godfather Politics: Several weeks ago I wrote about why more women vote for liberal Democrats. In that blog I stated that more women vote based not on knowledge or understanding of current issues but more upon their emotions and feelings. On the other hand, more men tend to vote conservative and Republican because they are better informed about current affairs and think more logically.

A new Pew Research Center survey reveals that Republicans are generally better informed on current issues. Respondents to the survey questions were asked which political party favored specific issues such as reducing the size of the federal government and which party is the more conservative. On those two issues, 30% more Republicans correctly identified the GOP. Twenty-one percent more Republicans knew that the GOP favors drilling for oil in the Arctic Wildlife Refuge.
