Statements about Internet statistics by Google UK, pulled from websites as Google indexes their contents as part of its search engine crawl. For instance, the statistic “By election day, fully 25% of people who pulled the lever for Obama were already connected to his campaign electronically.” was culled from this paragraph in a New York Magazine article:
… two million active users and 35,000 self-starting affinity groups on MyBarackObama .com. A million cell-phone numbers of people who requested the campaign send text messages to them. Countless names on volunteer lists from Obama’s sprawling get-out-the-vote effort on Election Day—by which time fully 25 percent of the people who pulled the lever for him were already connected to the campaign electronically.
All statistics have been compiled into five main categories and 18 sub-categories.
