Internet keeps gaining space among voters
Some interesting conclusions emerge from a recent study conducted by Burst Media with 2,100 online users who are likely to vote in the 2008 Presidential election.
Among other things the survey found that one-quarter of these likely voters chose the Internet as the best source to learn about candidates positions or to research election issues.
Also, more than one out of five said they had visited a 2008 presidential candidate’s website, with men relatively more likely than women to do so.
Finally, more than half (50.7%) of likely voters answered that they would watch a video clip on a candidates website featuring the candidate discussing his or her positions on election issues.
According to these results, YouTube appears to be the right place for candidates to be.
