Poll: 73 Percent Of Americans Unable To Locate America On Map Of America

Washington, D.C. – According to a Gallup/Harris poll released Monday, a full 73 percent of American citizens are incapable of identifying their home country on a map of the United States.

Of the 1,400 residents surveyed, the most common incorrect responses placed the more than 230-year-old territory in the Atlantic or Pacific Oceans (11 percent), the space where Mexico would appear were it in fact included on the map (10 percent), and inside the word “America” written just above the northernmost states (six percent).

I hear that a lot of American high school students can't point our Italy on a map either

As a Norwegian, I certainly won't gloat after being lectured by a 7-9 year old Tamil kid on Scandinavian history. Only politicians can say without bursting out laughing that education is best in the west. Seems to me education almost all over is a satire on education.

Damn, so many knew my country and did it right. Loved Sangria!

My wife and I tried labeling the two blank maps. I got 35 States correct, my wife got 36.

Our maps of Europe are hilariously wrong.
