New Google-POS Poll: How the Internet is Changing Republican Voter Behavior in South Carolina

Friday, January 20, 2012

a surprisingly high number of likely Republican primary voters have gone online to follow the election.

70% of likely Republican voters in South Carolina, about the same percentage of the population that has Internet access, have gone online to gather information about Saturday's election. This means that most Republicans who enter voting booths tomorrow will do so with an opinion that has been shaped by what they saw online.

62% of likely Republican voters in South Carolina who have searched online have used a search engine to check information they saw elsewhere, a number that holds up among supporters of all the candidates (and, surprisingly, even 43% of voters 65+ had used a search engine to check information they had learned about a candidate).
