Hardly surprising.
In my experience the general population seems to be less aware on almost all subjects. At least the important ones.

However, ask them about the status of the Kardashians, or what Rhianna wore to the Oscars, they'll be able to tell you in a heartbeat.

They seem to feel that thinking is "Hard" and they do their best to leave that up to others, lest they become "stressed" by all the decisions they might be asked to make.

We're becoming dumber as a society on a daily basis.
