Nearly twenty per cent of respondents located it along the United States’ border with Canada.</div><div><br></div><div>Being told that they had incorrectly identified the U.S.-Mexico border did not in any way dampen voters’ enthusiasm for building a wall there, however.</div><div><br></div><div>To the contrary, voters believed that it would be easier to locate the border once it had a twenty-foot wall.</div><div><br></div><div>Among voters who could not correctly identify the border, there was strong support for the Presidential candidacy of the billionaire Donald Trump.</div><div><br></div><div>Ninety per cent of those voters “strongly agreed” that Trump knew where the border was, as opposed to only four per cent who said that about Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker.</div></div><div><br></div><div>--------------------------------<br><br><div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Seeya 'round town, Moscow, because . . .</span></div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">"Moscow Cares" (the most fun you can have with your pants on)</span></div><div><a href="http://www.moscowcares.com/" style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><font color="#000000">http://www.MoscowCares.com</font></a></div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> </span></div><div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Tom Hansen</span></div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Moscow, Idaho</span></div></div><div> </div></div></div></div></body></html>
