Liberals have been up in arms about the how Obama got elected poll, which showed Obama supporters to be woefully ignorant on a variety of issues of the 2008 presidential campaign. They've cried. They've whined. They've accused Zogby of push-polling (this poll was not, in fact, a push-poll, regardless of whether you agree with the results). They've had a field day because John Ziegler finally got pissed off at jerks who don't know what the definition of "is" is.
But now, we have the same poll run for McCain voters who doubled the number of correct answers compared to Obama voters.
35 % of McCain voters got 10 or more of 13 questions correct.
18% of Obama voters got 10 or more of 13 questions correct.
McCain voters knew which party controls congress by a 63-27 margin.
Obama voters got the “congressional control” question wrong by 43-41.
Those that got "congressional control" correct voted 56-43 for McCain.
Those that got "congressional control" wrong voted 65-35 for Obama.
As RIGHTWINGSPARKLE notes, McCain voters were simply better informed than Obama voters.
