The latest Harris poll shows that most US adults don't know much of anything about world politics...or US politics, for that matter. Personally, I think this explains a lot...like just how Al Gore won the popular vote in 2000 and John Kerry came through with nearly half of the vote in 2004.
The truth is, this really does explain a lot - when most Americans are more interested in American Idol than in the events that shape our nation, come election day, the useful idiots who actually do vote will look at issues more emotionally than logically...and Democrats' feel-good politics have more appeal to people who approach issues from an emotional, rather than logical perspective.
