In case you didn't know,Daily Show viewers are the most informed Americans

[Melodybe]

It is so nice to have studies done that prove we are in fact the smartest and most informed, I cannot wait to share this information with all my repug friends.

Birds of a feather flock together and all of the smart ones flock around and watch the Daily Show every night.

I love it!

1. is it a generation x thing?

sarcastic, apathetic, realistic, half empty; lets here it for the disenfranchised!

Incidentally, how old is everyone on the DU? Is it a bunch of gen-xers or are the ages here across the board?

I am 34

2. 26, I am at the tail end of the Gen Xers

3. Gen-x here too...

...but I've seen Du'ers ages go across the spectrum. I think it's just the way The Daily Show gets it's point across, not talking down to it's audience or the incessant shouting of the same thing over and over.

4. age poll

I am still under a hundred posts and do not believe I can start a poll, but it would be interesting to see an age poll on the DU.

Can one of you old-school DU-ers do one of those pretty please?

11. Age polls on DU come up about 5 times a year.

They seem to always come up like a low bell-shaped curve. While about 50% of DUers are between 25 and 45, we have maybe another 35% between 45 and 70 and about 15% between 15 and 25. Typically, such polls are answered by anywhere from 100 to 400 DUers.

8. 60 on November 2nd

There seems to be a wide range of ages here. I believe DU does represent a huge portion of America.
