Earlier this morning, Justin pointed me to a CNN article about Late-Night television viewers and their knowledge about politics. Of the three shows considered (hosted by Stewart, Letterman or Leno), viewers of Comedy Central’s The Daily Show scored the best.

Sixty percent of The Daily Show viewers who took the quiz answered all of the questions correctly. This is compared to forty-nine percent of the Leno and Letterman viewers and fourty-two to fourty percent who read the newspaper and watch network television four nights a week.

Stewart was also on the OReilly Factor earlier in September. OReilly had some interesting comments about Stewarts influence on the election which are included in the CNN article.
