proportion of U.S. voters watch youtube?
I don't either, but compared to those who watch FOX and ABC (both of which are beating this Wright drum nonstop), I suspect it is relatively small.
Plus we have abundant evidence of Obama supporters' penchant for "viral" action. With an army zombies like this, it's not hard to run up the youtube hits.

you can find at least one that says the opposite. Plus, this was a re-poll of people who'd been sampled earlier. The question might go something like this: "Yesterday you said you felt [x] about Obama. He has now given a major address on this topic. Do you feel that his address has improved your view of him?"
Respondent: Yes, sure, I guess so.
ABC and Fox don't seem to be big Democratic voter strongholds, either.
I daresay the only network with lower ratings than ABC is the CW, and I would be shocked if a Fox viewer was receptive to voting Democratic at all in the first place.
