In every measure, Obama clobbers Clinton online


Compete


We've long known that Barack Obama is the Web's favorite presidential candidate -- now that Ron Paul is gone, the race isn't even close. But in a blog post today the Web-analysis firm Compete put out the full measure of Obama's dominance over rival Hillary Clinton.

Look at the table above: In every category, Obama clobbers Clinton.

The first row, FaceTime, is Compete's composite measurement of online interactions with a candidate -- how much time people spend on the candidate's MySpace and Facebook profiles, YouTube videos, Flickr photos, and MeetUp pages. The measurement reflects a "share" of Democrats online -- i.e., in March, Obama was the focus of four-fifths of the time that Democrats spent looking at a candidate online.

1. Uh huh... Check out AOL. Them hillbillys love them some Clinton, Obama? Not so much.

2. I miss the free coasters they used to send out.

3. Yeah, and that's a HUGELY underdiscussed factor.

I saw that around Super tues, and I knew Clinton was in for rough times. Obama was all over places like Slashdot and sports forums too.

The reason this is important is because opinions on the net tend to precede mainstream opinions (like with popularity of war etc) so this was either a great strategy for the Obama camp, or a lucky phenomenon for them.

6. 'Every measure' is false. 'Selective measures' is more like it.

Hillary is clobbering Obama on AOL - with hundreds of thousands of voters in their straw poll each week, Hillary wins week after week after week.

This week she is winning in every single state - even Obama's home state; nationally she is averaging 56% to 44%; her numbers vary state to state.

In Florida she pulls 64%, Obama 36% (which sounds excactly like the scientific polls done lately in Florida)

Pennsylvania..she pulls 59%, Obama 41%,
Indiana.........she pulls 59%, Obama 41%,


Many of us have long known that Hillary is by far the Web's favorite of the normal people that use the Web.

7. apparently they don't vote. the real world is a better measure and

she isn't winning there.

10. It appears some might be having buyers remorse.

8. "Normal people that use the Web"? So that's your criteria? How do you

measure that?

[Maribelle]

9. My criteria is ...

having a sense of humor.



( I suppose I shouldn't try to kid around with Obama supporters ) :banghead:

[NYCGirl]

11. Okay. But humor is usually funny. NT
