MYSTERY POLLSTER OFFERS AN ANALYSIS of Gallup’s new poll on blogs. Key bit:

No, the collective reach of blogs is nowhere near that of television or print media, but focusing on the relatively small percentages misses the rapidly growing influence of the blog readership in absolute terms. The 12% that say they read political blogs at least a few times a month amount to roughly 26 million Americans. That may not make blogs a “dominant” news source, but one American in ten ads up to a lot of influence.

All the more so when you look at which ten percent it is.
