Internet's Broader Role in Campaign 2008

Many pundits and political scientists have wondered where Americans are getting their information about political campaigns as of late. Some have said that the internet continues to grow in popularity, while others contend that nightly news programs remain popular sources of information. This 32-page report, from The Pew Research Center for the People & The Press, takes a close look at this very subject. Released in January 2008, the report is based on a survey conducted with 1430 adults near the end of December 2007. The report notes that a quarter of Americans say they regularly learn something about the current presidential campaign through the internet, which is almost double the percentage of those polled during the 2004 campaign. Interestingly enough, 42% of those ages 18 to 29 say they regularly learn about the campaign from the internet.
