Poll: One in five Americans unsure if water is wet.

The problem with democracy--where everything is ostensibly decided by majority vote--is that roughly 40 percent of today's Americans seem to be abysmally misinformed about...well, current events and politics, for sure.

Exhibit 1:
According to this this study, more than one in five Americans (22 percent) believe that Obamacare has already been repealed. Another 26 percent were not sure if it had been repealed or not.

No word on correlation between political party or leaning and the individual's response.

Such dismal news suggests the awareness of the U.S. population is deteriorating faster than previously thought. Not good.
