What percentage of American women consider themselves feminists?
Okay granted this is the new game show on CBS hosted by Drew Carey

I don't know who does the polling but I thought this was interesting. I got it within the 10 percentage points and was only 1 off (still would have lost for the $10 Million though)

You get the range within the first 3 minutes.

What would YOU guess?

1. If you ask using the word "feminist", I'd say the percentage is pretty low
"Feminist" has been demonized in this country almost as much as "Socialist" has. I'd bet that a small minority of women would apply that word to themselves.

On the other hand, if you asked women about specific feminist policies (equal pay, reproductive rights, etc) you'll get a very high number in favor of them.

2. Take a guess
According to this game (at the $1 Million level) you only have to be within a 10 point range.

6. I'm curious about another question, they high light on their ad,
I missed the program, but the question was "What percentage of Americans believe they are smarter than Bush?" did anyone see the answer to that one?

I did see the part where they said 29% of American call them selves feminists.
