Are most Americans savvy voters? [View all]

By savvy I mean intelligent and well informed, able to make good voting decisions.

Obviously, the media plays a big roll in why they might not be well informed; and I though on how to factor that in, but couldn't think of a clean way to do it. But that's another question - would they be savvy voters if we had a better media landscape?
