NEW YORK Daily traffic to YouTube and other video-sharing sites has soared in the past year, the Pew Internet & American Life Project reports. In fact, such traffic has nearly doubled to 48 percent of adults, according to Pew’s survey released this week.

Pew’s national phone survey spanned across 2,054 adults, 48 percent of whom used a video-sharing site, up from last year’s 33 percent.
