simple, three question political survey
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:

GB's PM took a minute cause the new guy isn't in the news as much as the old guy!

I knew questions 1 and 2 but not 3.

I knew all three, although I had to think about number 2 for a minute.

Got 1 wrong but 2 & 3 was easy
A lot of people ask me what kind of music I like. I love "soul music". My "soul music" isn’t a style, genre or niche. It’s music that is genuine. It’s
a painful lyric, a dirty bassline, it’s a harrowing vocal, it’s feedback, it’s an anthem, it’s a love song, it’s anarchy. I’ve got my personal
favourites but in the end it doesn’t matter who or where it comes from... so long as it’s good and it's real.
