This isn't an issue like abortion or immigration where everyone and their grandmother has an opinion. I think my friends are on average more intelligent than the general populace and I'd wager 3 out of 4 of them can't speak knowledgeably about the Fed.

yes, but people are waking up! people are starting to understand the fed's role and how it damages the economy. i think this poll is about 10 percent higher then the last poll conducted a few months ago or last year.
