# Campaign ’08 Online

Our latest [politics report](https://www.pewresearch.org/internet/PPF/r/252/report_display.asp) finds that 46% of Americans have used the internet, email or cell phone text messaging to get news about the campaigns.

Lee Rainie appeared on the [NewsHour ](http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/politics/jan-june08/wiredpolitics_06-16.html) to discuss the findings.
