Harry Reid, Supreme Court justice?

In an item that says something about the public's knowledge of the U.S. Supreme Court or their awareness of the Senate majority leader -- or both -- 4 percent of people quizzed in a Pew Research current events survey this summer thought Sen. Harry Reid is chief justice of the Supreme Court.
Only 28 percent were able correctly to identify John Roberts as the chief justice. By comparison, 85 percent were familiar with Twitter.
Pew said there were some surprises in the findings of its News IQ quiz, which readers can take online at this site.
