# Obama voters expect to remain mobilized

![](https://www.pewresearch.org/internet/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/media/Infographics/Report-Infographics/2008/25--Post-election-2008-Voter-Engagement/Obama-Voters-expect-to-remain-mobilized.jpg)

Fully 46% of all Obama voters (and 51% of those who go online) expect to hear directly from Barack Obama or other officials affiliated with the new administration at least occasionally over the next year, and 15% of Obama voters expect to hear from the new administration on at least a weekly basis.

McCain supporters do not have the same expectations of regular direct contact with their party or its leaders as Obama supporters. One-third (33%) of McCain voters expect to have such contact at least occasionally over the next year in one form or another, while just 4% expect to be contacted on a weekly basis.
