A majority of Americans do not read political blogs, the online commentaries that have proliferated in the race for the U.S. presidency, according to a poll released on Monday.

Only 22 percent of people responding to the poll said they read blogs regularly, meaning several times a month or more, according to the survey conducted by Harris Interactive.

22%?

Well, let’s see, 22% of 300,000,000 is what?

66,000,000.

Yeah, ok, I’ll settle for that.

I’ll tell you who does read political blogs - most of Washington DC and the news media - to include Reuters.
