Source: Tom's Guide US | Keywords: Obama, McCain, election | Themes: Business
Expected democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama apparently reaches a far greater Internet audience than the Republican nominee, John McCain. According to a survey released by Nielsen Netratings, Obama’s website counted 2.3 million unique visitors in June while John McCain’s site was the destination of only 563,000 unique visitors, market research firm Nielsen Netratings said today.
Obama’s campaign also leads in Internet marketing, placing nearly 105.7 million image-based ad impressions during the month versus 8.5 million for McCain. The Republican nominee, however, had a lead in search sponsored links: McCain’s campaign saw 5.4 million sponsored link impressions, while Obama had only 1.8 million.
Among active Web users over the age of 18, 89% are registered to vote, according to Nielsen Online’s @Plan. Registered voters who are Internet users are fairly evenly divided between the two major political parties, with 36%Republicans and 35%Democrats. 17% reported being registered Independents with the balance registered as "other" or "not disclosing an affiliation".
"The fact that so many Web users are registered to vote suggests that online campaign efforts will drive results at the polls," said Jon Gibs, vice president, media analytics, Nielsen Online. "Campaigns are no longer dabbling online - we expect a candidate’s Web presence to be an integral part of both campaigns.

Im a web user who will never vote for Obama. I worked hard to get where I am today, I dont need the president trying his best to take everything I have, so that other people who dont want to work at all can live the good life. Like this poor lady who admits she has 6 kids and has never had a job in her life. Obama is upset because they want to knock down the "projects" that she lives in because they are no longer safe after hurricane Katrina. the caption from the article quotes her as saying "I might be poor but I don't like to live poor. I thank God for a place to live but it's pitiful what people give you." Well, I have a job and my TV isnt that big. If she doesnt want to live poor then she needs to get a F*(&#^G JOB! and work like the rest of us.

Yeah I'll second that! I'm 27 years old, but I feel that most 18-29 year old people are clueless and naive. Since most of that age group is either glued to a TV or Computer 24/7 they read all of the extremist far left wing crap that is spewed all over the Internet. This in turn, influences the typical ignorant MTV watching young people into thinking Obama is the next best thing to sliced bread.
