The Blogads 2006 survey of political blog readers is available here (other survey results from this and previous years are available here). Chris Bowers notes some caveats and summarizes the results here;
interesting trends involve an increase in the median age (46.4 from
40.4 in 2005) and some narrowing of the gender gap (33.9% female from
31% in 2005).
Political blog readers continue to put more faith in
blogs (89%) as a useful or extremely useful source of news and opinion
than in traditional news sources, including television (14%), print
newspapers (32%), online newspapers (52%), print magazines (36%), and
online magazines (39%).
