Voting, Voters and Political Knowledge

We hope that you voted this past week. But we really hope that you cast an informed vote – a vote based upon real understanding of the facts and issues.

Is such a hope realistic? Do most people cast informed votes? Or not?

Join us as we sit down with Political Science Professor Anderson Starling of the University of Tennessee at Martin to talk about his research into political knowledge: how much of it do Americans have, and how do they get it? And, even more fundamentally, does it matter?
