Well, they would know, Globe:
"Use of Internet to follow White House race doubles
The Internet now plays a central role in US politics, with nearly half of all Americans using it and other new media to follow the presidential campaign, according to a study released yesterday.
The study by the Pew Internet and American Life Project found that 17 percent of adults scoured political websites, read campaign e-mails and text messages, or otherwise used the Internet every day to keep up with the campaign (Reuters June 16, 2008)."
"Poll says most Americans believe Obama will winWhile Democrat Barack Obama and Republican John McCain are statistically even in Gallup's latest daily tracking poll, a Gallup survey released yesterday shows that a clear majority of Americans believe Obama will win in November.
He leads in that perception measure 52 percent to 41 percent, with 76 percent of Democrats and 50 percent of independents predicting an Obama victory. Two-thirds of Republicans said they believe McCain, who described himself as the underdog yesterday, will win.
While Obama's support during the primaries was skewed toward younger voters, they are the least optimistic that America will elect its first black president. Only 48 percent of those 18 to 34 said they believe Obama will win, while 52 percent of those between 35 and 54 did. In a Washington Post/ABC News poll released today, Obama leads McCain among all voters by 49 percent to 45 percent. The poll had a margin of error of 3 percentage points (Boston Globe June 16, 2008)."
Maybe the kids aren't as stoo-pid as we thought, huh?
I guess they are catching on quick to the fooleys.
The poll results confirm (in my mind) that Obama should wipe the floor with McCain; anything less will be a RIG JOB!!
Let's face it, Americans certainly wouldn't feel this way from the newspaper coverage.
