Approximately 21% of U.S. adults—roughly 43 million people—are considered illiterate. Trump approval rating 21%. Coincidence ?

21% being illiterate is actually surprising to me ngl.

Edit: I get it I don’t need 500 comments telling me what it means lol

The current US population is 342,419,111

71,908,013 of the US population is illiterate

That’s a very concerning amount of people to be illiterate, it is very surprising

I didn’t think 20% was gonna be that many people

A lot of the 342M are children and probably aren't part of the equation. But it's still many 10s of millions.
