More Rs than Ds turn to online news in the midst of an election

According to a Pew Research Center study published Thursday, a higher percentage of Republicans watched political videos online before the 2010 election than Democrats. This �The Internet and Campaign 2010� report also concluded that more Republican voters (69 percent) watched and read political content online than Democratic voters (56 percent). The study was based on 2,257 phone interviews of people over the age of 18 immediately after the election. Pew took the time to define an online political user. This was a well-conducted research study and was well-designed. It broke down the information so it could be easily interpreted and understood based on several factors. It used a large sample size over a good time period. My only critique is that the study did not provide clear reasoning or an explanation for the research it concluded. It does however have the potential for other research to continue exploring why there are these differences.
