Good stuff. I think it's real hard to define an "informed" voter because of the increasingly poor job the media is doing covering news. Someone might read their local metro paper daily and watch a couple of hours of CNN each night, but sadly, I'm still not sure this makes them an "informed" voter. The media glosses over most everything and gives people the impression they've digested an issue, when really, they've just been shown the tip of the iceberg.

If one is to consider an "informed" voter to be someone who actively discusses the issues with various people while also doing a decent amount of outside research on their own, I'm afraid the amount of "informed" voters could be an extremely small portion of the voter pool.
