Not saying it's as simple as Americans are stupid there are other things that play a role....
So called "smart" people swallow lies of more polished politicians just as easily.
It's really the fault of the media. Most smart people, even, aren't educated or informed enough to make an intelligent evaluation of economic, tax and foreign policy - just because someone has a MD or PhD doesn't mean they ever picked up an economics book. Social issues should not be at the forefront of a federal election, but it is because the vast majority of Americans are rather ignorant on the critical issues.
