Natalia Angulo reports at Academia.org:
"In the past studies, ISI has administered civic knowledge tests on topics such as American history, government, and economics, and has found that the average college freshman, as well as the average college senior has failed the test. Students from some of the top ranking schools across the Nation failed, including East Coast Ivies.
This time, ISI also extended testing to American adults. In a random pool of approximately 2,000 persons, both those with and without college degrees, 71% failed the exam."
