In addition, according to the Pew survey released today, nearly one in three voters have been urged by friends or family on social media to cast their ballots for either President Obama or Gov. Romney.
The Pew results were determined by phone polling from of 1,011 adults in the continental U.S. and had a margin of sampling error of ± 3.6 percentage points.
According to Pew, the difference in "partisan tilt," the number of Obama backers and Romney backers announcing their choices, is statistically insignificant.
Pew's conclusions on social media and voting should be obvious.
"Social media is a significant part of the process by which voters are talking about their ballot selections, especially younger voters," the organization determined and "Social media platforms have also become a notable venue for people to try to convince their friends to vote."
