Gallup Poll - September 22, 2008
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- A record-high 43% of Americans say they follow news about national politics very closely, up from 30% at this time last year and 36% during the last presidential election.
I was encouraged to see today's Gallup Poll that reflected a renewed awarenes of National Politics. People need to be involved and need to participate in this important National Election.
As a democracy (where supreme power is held by the people under a free electoral system) it's every eligible voter's responsibility to ensure they are informed and involved in the process.
It was interesting to note that this awareness comes in the midst of an increased and continued distrust in the news media, specifically newspapers, television, and radio.
Hopefully this will prompt voters to research the candidates, study the issues and ultimately make an informed and objective decision when they cast their vote on November 4, 2008.
