US Apr '68: When you heard the news of the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., which one of the things listed on the card was your strongest reaction?
A simple reminder of the popularity of various gun safety proposals pewsocialtrends.org/2017/06/22/ame…
US May 24 '67: Executives: What are the greatest weaknesses of young college graduates coming to you for employment?
US Oct 31 '73: Young people: Which of these comes closest to your own view of higher education?
US Jul 17 '63: Are mass demonstrations by Negroes more likely to help or hurt the Negro’s cause for racial equality?
US Jan 18-22 ’83: Do you feel that Martin Luther King’s birthday should be made a national holiday or not?
US Dec '05: Does it bother you when stores use the words ‘Merry Christmas’ on their displays at this time of year instead of ‘Happy Holidays’ or ‘Season's Greetings,’ or not?
US Nov '92: Approximately how many Jews were killed in the Holocaust?
The poll sought to gauge what Americans knew about the Holocaust-how closely they understood known historical truths. Poll below:
There was a poll in '92 from the American Jewish Committee asking how many Jews people thought died in the Holocaust-but it wasn't a gimmick
US Jun 19-22 ’81: Would you favor a 21-day waiting period for background check before a gun can be purchased?

(Thanks to @rebeccaonion and @andrew_m_kahn for making this Breitbart or Klan quiz possible!) slate.com/blogs/the_vaul…
Polls are great-want to take a quiz? It's called "Breitbart headline or KKK newspaper from the 1920s?" Now @Slate! slate.com/blogs/the_vaul…
US Sep 11 '01: Looking ahead, do you think once these events pass, things will return to normal, or the events will change things forever?
