i don't know about that now....there are plenty of both to go around. and what's 'informed' mean? for instance, if someone was clinging to the opinion that obama is muslim, would that mean he was or wasn't informed?
and what kind of civics test? they have to name the current administration? 6 of the 9 court justices? or name former presidents-most people would fail that, but that doesn't mean they aren't informed.
