No change for me.

I've become more interested in International Elections, though.

I voted increased.  I certainly pay much more attention to politics than I did in the past.

But it varies as well........I have very little interest at this point, but probably after the mid-terms I'll pay attention again.  What's going on in the world dictates my level of interest and right now I'm not interested in a whole lot.

I've been here wayyyyyyy to long.

Declined, without a doubt, but not as a result of being on the forum.

Probably declined slightly.

If only because, politics is about the future, you kids posting on this forum are the future of American politics, and I've come to appreciate how much I really don't care about you.

Declined drastically.  I still care about the country, but don't have much optimism for it.

Declined.

Oddly, too, because I'm always reading about how old people always vote and care about politics.  It has been my experience that when I was young, policy and politics were very important, but the older I get the less I care about politics and the more I care about other stuff.

Decreased certainly, but I imagine it will flair up again in around November and in 2016.

It's actually increased quite a bit; probably because I learned dozens of new things while being a member of the Atlas

Declined, but that's because US politics are nowhere near as interesting now as they were then. In fact this is tje least interesting point in my Atlas tenure.

No change, but it will peak again during the presidential races or if I work on a campaign again.

Dramatically decreased. It's a hopeless cause.

Declined, but backlash against the outrageous childish treatment of Obama by Republicans has kept it above water for now.

Politics? The game is boring and soul crushing with the current situation and its players. So I've tuned out. But international affairs, elections, arguing the issues.. still entertaining. And this place is always good for a laugh. But strictly political stuff (if that makes sense) makes me want to drown.

I was already very interested before I joined, so I guess it stayed the same up until recently, as I barely keep in touch with individual races this fall.

Declined substantially, predominantly due to the almost complete uselessness of Congress (particularly the House). Congress is years away from actually having a substantial policy debate.
