Popularity of Presidential Candidates According to Facebook

Filed under: Culture, TEH INTARWEB — Tim @ 11:54 am

Some of the other expats here were wondering how popular various candidates were in the eyes of young adults. I figured that perhaps the easiest sample size to attain was through Facebook.

Below is an image I put together with the magic of cut/paste/resize and MS Paint. All of the data comes from the built-in “US Politics Support” application created by FB itself.

And for what it is worth, Ron Paul is the most popular vato based on who I am friended with (RP has 36, Obama is in second with 10, Thompson with 7).
