Poll: Most Americans don't read political blogs

NEW YORK (Reuters) - A majority of Americans do not read political blogs, the online commentaries that have proliferated in the race for the U.S. presidency, according to a poll released on Monday.

Only 22 percent of people responding to the poll said they read blogs regularly, meaning several times a month or more, according to the survey conducted by Harris Interactive.

Political blogs, in which writers, pundits and other participants voice opinions in online forums, burst into the spotlight in the 2004 and 2008 presidential campaigns. Some of the most high-profile blogs are influential on campaign strategies, media coverage and public perception of the candidates and issues.

Unlike traditional, mainstream media, blogs often adopt a specific point of view. Critics complain they can contain unchecked facts, are poorly edited and use unreliable sources.

Despite the attention blogs can get, the poll said 56 percent of Americans say they never read blogs that discuss politics. Another 23 percent read them several times a year, the survey showed.

Ya know, this is SOOOO freaking true.

If you mention Chappaquiddick or Vince Foster, most people will give you the same look as your dog  when you say something that ends in an quizzical uplift.

I was talking about politics the other day, nothing stunning just normal stuff.  The friend I was talking to said "You are way too smart not to have a job!"  I was talking about election stuff not the history of civilization.  I find it weird how uninformed most people are about the basic goings on in this world.

Heck no I have plenty to do!!!  I have to take care of a very active family, and I volunteer at almost every activity my kids do.  I don't have time to get a "real" job.
