Remember the video (also posted below) showing incredibly uninformed Obama voters sharing their knowledge (or lack thereof) about even the most basic political facts? Accompanying the video was a Zogby poll of Obama voters, commissioned by John Ziegler, demonstrating that the ignorance was quite widespread. For odd reasons, Zogby refused to do another poll of McCain voters, which would have given us some grounds for comparison.

Well, Ziegler looked elsewhere. He commissioned a Wilson Research Poll that duplicated the Zogby questions, which were applied to both Obama and McCain voters. The results from Obama voters were virtually "identical" to those of the Zogby poll, which gives significant legitimacy to both polls. Some of the highlights:

35 % of McCain voters got 10 or more of 13 questions correct.

18% of Obama voters got 10 or more of 13 questions correct.

McCain voters knew which party controls congress by a 63-27 margin.

Obama voters got the “congressional control” question wrong by 43-41.

...

Those “exposed” to Fox News got "congressional control" correct 64-25 (+39)

Those “exposed” to CNN got “congressional control” correct 48-38 (+10)

Those “exposed” to Network news got “congressional control” correct 48-39 (+9)

Those “exposed” to print media got “congressional control” correct 52-37 (+15)

Those “exposed” to MSNBC got “congressional control” correct 55-35 (+20)

Those “exposed” to talk radio got “congressional control” correct 61-29 (+32)

Voters in the "South" had the best response rate on “congressional control” (+22)

Voters in the "Northeast" had the worst response rate on “congressional control” (+9)

Those “exposed” to Fox News voted 70-29 for McCain.

Those “exposed” to CNN voted 63-37 for Obama.

Those “exposed” to MSNBC voted 73-26 for Obama.

Those “exposed” to network newscasts voted 62-37 for Obama.

Those “exposed” to national newspapers voted 64-36 for Obama.

Those “exposed” to talk radio voted 61-38 for McCain.

...

Women under 55 did worse than they might have by guessing on four of the thirteen questions, and yet 95% of them knew that Palin was the candidate with a pregnant teenage daughter. Even 95% of those in this demographic group who didn't know “congressional control” got this question correct.

Here, again, is the video that personifies the poll:

And, a less scientific but equally striking video I've posted before:
