Stern website: Howard is more influential in this election than Pillboy...

[Renew Deal]

"Howard read a great report in the paper to start off the show. It turns out that people are crediting him with John Kerry's upswing in the polls. Nation wide, 17% of the people planning on voting in the presidential election listen to the Howard Stern show. Of those 17%, 1 out of 4 of them hasn't decided how they will vote in the election. That means 4% of the voting public is undecided and listens to the Howard Stern show, meaning Howard has a lot of power over the swing votes, an incredible benefit to Kerry. This makes Howard much more influential in this election than Rush Limbaugh or Sean Hannity, since a vast majority of their listeners already know how they will vote - republican. Howard is on the air every day telling his listeners his mission is to get Bush out of office and he plans on delivering the votes to do it."
