The first, in Iowa, is scheduled for Monday, February 3.
Youre welcome, world.
Bernie is Mr. Popular…
40% off TNW Conference!
Better yet, it wont overwhelm you.
… but maybe not for long.
But the real action isnt on the top of the list, its at the bottom.
Since January, Pete Buttigieg, the mayor of South Bend, Indiana, has been on a tear.
In just three months, Mayor Pete has skyrocketed from literally off the chart into the number seven spot.
And hes not alone.
Buttigieg though, a man who seemingly came from nowhere, is one worth watching.
Sanders, in fact, isnt even the worst among the most popular Democratic candidates.
Care to guess what Mayor Petes engagement percentage is?
Go ahead, Ill wait.
Take a stab at it.
President Trump, if you were wondering, doesnt even compare.
It was a close one, with Marianne Williamson narrowly edging out Joe Biden for the crown.
Both audiences are in excess of 70 percent male.
But what about minorities?
This category offers few surprises.
Latinos, like Julian Castro, tend to attract a large share of the latino interest.
The black vote tends to veer toward Booker and Harris.
Asians, unsurprisingly, like Yang.
Caucasians, well, theyre all over the place.
Both lead the pack in terms of having the whitest audience.
Many lived through Jim Crow and race riots.
Much like your racist relative, age plays a part in voting behavior too.
They all have fake followers, and its unfair to assume that they purchased them.
Low-quality followers dont stop at those that are fake or suspicious.
In that category, we see Gabbard and Marianne Williamson run away from the rest of the pack.
Marianne Williamson, for some reason, is head-and-shoulders above the rest of the group in this one.
Its not even close.
Being Oprahs spiritual advisor (were not making this up), might offer a clue there.
But we started to wonder, whos the most popular candidate overseas?
So, to scratch our collective curious itch, we found out.
And the answer might be a little surprising.
Sanders has amassed a lot of attention after his failed presidential bid in 2016.
But, what do I know?
Other names of international interest: Harris (400k international followers) and Warren (350k).
Who likes what?
56 percent of Buttgiegs following loves Art & Design.
47 percent of Harriss following is interested in Beauty & Fashion.
Biden and Booker share the top spot for the biggest percentage of those interested in Children & Family.
Warrens followers like Clothes, Shoes, Handbags & Accessories (34 percent).
Instead, we decided to focus on those with at least 25,000 followers.
