Democrats Think Social Media More Important For Politics Than Republicans, Independents [STUDY]

Social media is expected to play a significant role in November’s U.S. presidential election,  and a new study from Pew Internet has revealed the extent to which politically-minded users are engaged with channels such as Twitter and Facebook, and how importantly they rate them.

Pew have documented their findings in their Politics On Social Networking Sites report, which was published earlier today.

The survey revealed that less than a majority of users believe that social networking sites are important for a variety of political activities.

  • 36% of SNS users say the sites are “very important” or “somewhat important” to them in keeping up with political news.
