By 2010 “73% of adult internet users (representing 54% of all US adults) went online to get news or information about the 2010 midterm elections, or to get involved in the campaign in one way or another.’
“ Previous research had also found that 22% of online American adults used social network sites or Twitter for politics in the 2010 campaign, and that 26% of American adults used their cell phones to learn about or participate in the campaign.”
