From MSNBC.com:

Seventy percent say they are talking politics with family and friends, and 43 percent are debating the issues at work. Among churchgoers, 28 percent share their political views, a number that rises to 34 percent among the congregations in the South.

So, it's not just on this forum. There is more interest in the US in politics than there has been in a long while.

The more people are engaged, the better the process is. Maybe it's good.
