Can you name...
- the controlling party of the U.S. House of Representatives
- the U.S. secretary of state
- Great Britain's prime minister
This survey was conducted by Pew Research and included 3,612 U.S. adults.
Overall, just 18 percent of participants answered all three questions correctly.
More than 50 percent of Americans knew which party has a majority in the House.
42 percent could identify the secretary of state.
Less than 30 percent could name the prime minister of Great Britain.
You can find the answers in the story here:
