Civic Engagement in the Digital Age

This study examines online and offline political engagement, paying special attention to the role that social networking sites play in people's political activities. The survey assessed how education, income, class, age, and other factors play in to civic participation. The three different parts are as follows: online and offline civic engagement in America, political engagement on social networking sites, and online channels bringing new voices or attitudes into the political debate. The results are based on data from telephone interviews conducted by Princeton Survey Research Associates International.
