1/12/04--The Internet is playing a growing role in politics
WASHINGTON, D.C. January 12 – More than a third of the nation’s
Internet users have gone online to get news and information, exchange
emails about the race, or participate online in the current political
campaign.
Even among wired Americans, the Internet still lags far behind
television and newspapers as voters’ main source of political news.
But the importance of the Internet continues to grow as it now rivals
radio as a primary source of political information. Moreover, there
is evidence that the early efforts by campaigns to engage voters
through email have drawn an audience.
22% of all Internet users have gone online to get news or information
about this campaign. The figure equals the number who had done this
during all of the off-year elections in 2002, so there is some reason
to think that by the end of this campaign that many more Internet
users will have gotten at least some news or information about the
political races of 2004.
18% of all Internet users have sent or received emails about the
candidates or campaigns either from their acquaintances or from
groups or political organizations.
7% of all Internet users have participated in online campaign
activities such as contributing to discussion groups, signing
petitions, or donating money.
These results come from a survey of 1,506 American adults conducted
by the Pew Research Center for The People & The Press and the Pew
Internet & American Life Project between December 19 and January 4.
Some 1,002 of them are Internet users. The margin of error on the
sample is 3.5 percentage points for the Internet-user portion of the
sample.
Many online political enthusiasts have done all three types of
activities online that were mentioned in the bulleted points above.
So, at this early stage, 34% of online Americans have done some form
of information gathering or more direct participation in politics via
the Internet. This amounts to more than 40 million people. Of those
40 million active political users of the Internet:
52% have gone online to look for more information about candidates’
positions on the issues.
29% have used the Internet to find out about campaign organizations
or activities in their communities. This represents more than 11
million people and includes those who have used online social
networking sites like Meetup.com to connect to local supporters of
candidates that appeal to them. Among the most likely to have used
the Internet to find local organizations are young city dwellers.
28% have visited Web sites set up by groups or organizations that
promote candidates or political positions. Our previous research
showed that growing numbers of Internet users are using sites set up
by interest groups to gain information about the candidates they
endorse or issue-positions that candidates hold.
25% have been to candidate or campaign Web sites.
13% have participated in political discussions through blogs or chat
groups.
At this early stage of the campaign, the most active and politically
engaged Internet users are more liberal than conservative, more
Democratic than Republican, and more likely to oppose President Bush
than support him. This is especially true among those who have traded
emails about the race with other individuals or political
organizations. This is likely because there is an active race among
Democrats for the party’s nomination, while Republicans already have
their nominee in the President. It is likely the differences will
narrow as the general election takes shape and as Republicans gear up
their massive emailing operations.
The general profile of these Internet users is that they are
relatively more likely to be men, in their 30s and 40s, relatively
well-to-do, well educated, suburban, and secular in their outlook.
TV is still the tops – even with Internet users
While there is great interest in the role of the Internet as a new
tool to inform and mobilize voters, other media are far more
important to Americans as they gather material related to politics.
Even among Internet users, TV reigns supreme. Some 76% of all
Internet users still say they get most of their news from TV. And the
Internet even trails newspapers among Internet users (37% to 20%).
Among Internet users, 20% say the Internet is the place they have
been getting most of their news and 17% say radio is the place they
have gotten most of their news.
Internet users rely on big media companies for their news, rather
than exclusively Internet-based news operations. Some 41% of Internet
users get political news regularly or sometimes from portals like
AOL; 38% get political news sometimes or regularly from the Web sites
of major news organizations such as CNN and the New York Times; 10%
get political news from online news magazine and opinion sites such
as Slate.com.
Internet users are more information hungry, as a rule, than non-
Internet users. They are more likely to consult all kinds of media
for information. Thus, Internet users who get political news are more
likely than non-Internet users to get political information from
cable news networks, their daily papers, talk radio, political talk
shows, National Public Radio, print newsmagazines, C-Span, and comedy
shows.
Dean and the Internet
The supporters of Democrat Howard Dean are not too different from all
likely registered voters when it comes to getting news about the
campaign, though they are somewhat more reliant on the Internet and
less reliant on TV. Dean supporters enjoy politics than others, and
cast their nets more widely for information, with the Internet more
likely to be on Dean supporters' roster of resources than for others.
In addition, Dean supporters are more likely than others to join
online discussions about the campaign and more likely to visit Web
sites that promote candidates or positions.
The Pew Internet & American Life Project is a non-partisan, non-
profit organization funded by the Pew Charitable Trusts to explore
the social impact of the Internet.
