Fox News accidentally insults all Mitt Romney voters, LOL
Apparently this election was not only divided along racial and financial lines, but on intelligence lines as well. Our favorite thing about this graphic is that the data Kenny used came from Fox Business, so if you're a Romney voter, this is basically Neil Cavuto accidentally calling you an idiot. Of course, Nevada voted for Obama despite being one of the least educated states, but we can probably chalk that up to the fact that he was the safest bet.

FOX insults their viewers all the time. It's just one big joke to them. They laugh all the way to the bank all the while holding their viewers in contempt.

Lots of well-educated idiots out there, and lots of not-much-book-learning smart folks.
High school and college completion indicates education, although it may not correlate as strongly with intelligence. |

12. On an individual basis I agree with you, but for a large sample size, this is very telling.

Alternatively, we can poll the various states and ask the people how old they believe the earth to be. The lists will look quite similar.

This statistical report is very surprising to me because i did not know this...wow!!

Probably why we only rate 4th of most educated countries in the world. Who's #1?
