Influence<br />

Discussion boards, online news websites and gender were found to have effect on<br />

influence. The estimated marginals show that those who “always” (mean = 1.122, Table 4)<br />

use online news websites and discussion rooms for political news and information are more<br />

likely influenced on their perceptions on political issues and political leaders. The estimated<br />

marginals also reveal that males are more influenced by the new media on political issues and<br />

leaders than females (Table 5).<br />
