Americans Following Politics News Unusually Closely | 44 | washingtonpost.com: "Thirty-six. That's the percentage of Americans who say they are following national political news 'very closely,' the highest off-year number since Gallup began asking the question in 2001.

We can hope that this higher number will result in wiser choices at the polls, but I'm not holding my breath.
