Description
Summary:When Action Démocratique du Québec (ADQ) became the first opposition party after the Quebec election in March 2007, some observers attributed this unlikely outcome to the influence of certain “talk radio” stations. This research brief examines this hypothesis using panel data from a poll conducted before and after the election. Results show that the relationship between political preferences and talk radio listening is as much present before as after the election. Furthermore, talk radio listeners are less likely than those of other types of radio stations to have changed their political choice at the voting polls.
