The Drum Major Institute for Public Policy did this wonderful study on how little US middle-class citizens know about current US public policy. Apparently, 72% of them couldn't name a bill that was passed within the last two years that benefited them.

And I'll be surprised of how many citizens feel comfortable voting even without much awareness of what bills either presidential candidates (or the members of their respective parties) have voted to pass or what actual policies they will push to implement if elected.
