Last week, BlogHer.  This week, Media Post.  Discuss amongst yourself.

I find the Media Post report missing some info – for example, it says more people are looking to political blogs and breaks them down by party affiliation.  But they don’t tell you what percentage political blogs are of all blogs out there (last I read from Pew, it was about 11%).

Political blogs are becoming increasingly common, especially in this election year, where 24.6% of registered voters say they regularly or occasionally blog. Political affiliation of regular/occasional Bloggers look like this in 2008:

37.6%     of Libertarians regularly/occasionally blog
26.9%     of Democrats
25.7%     of Independents
22.9%     Republicans

Fun note: they capitalize “Blogger.”  Cool.  No one capitalizes “Journalist.” But maybe it’s just the usage here. I couldn’t find any more detailed info on the survey firm’s page in a very short look.
