What does GOP mean? 49% of GOP do not know. (independent, school, compare)

9% of Democrats think it means Grumpy Old People. I would have to agree with that one. Another 3% of democrats thought it meant God's own people, another good one.

It actually means grand old Party. I kind of think Grumpy old people is more applicable today.

Just another indication we should scrap the public school system and the Department of Education...

Good catch...

No semblance of it remains. It will likely be relegated to just being a chapter in future History Books. We will miss them.

I always thought it meant gang of punks since that is what they are.

It once meant "The Grand Old Party", but now it translates to "The Grand Obstructionist Party".

If a college student thinks a surge protector is for water flow it's ludicrous to expect people to know what GOP stands for

Well I think that almost every media outlet with the exception of WSJ uses the acronym GOP, I guess we don't have very many curious people in the U.S.

at least the majority of republicans know what GOP stands for. compare that to 47% of independents and only 38% of democrats.

The poll asked, what does the abbreviation GOP stand for? Only 45% of Americans correctly identified it as the Grand Old Party. Fifty one percent of Republicans, 47% of Independents, and only 38% of Democrats got it right.

Well from the article, 9% of democrats said that it stood for Grumpy old People so I don't know if they did not know the real answer or were simply giving a more accurate answer.
