I've done a little research on the Internet, and here's what I've found regarding Twitter followers. This is of course if you believe the news stories out there and also TwitterAudit.com.
Obama had 18 million followers, but 70% were fake or inactive so he had 5.4 million real followers.
Romney had around 1.2 million followers, but 30% were fake, so he had around 840,000 real followers
Trump has 10.8 million. 59% of them are real according to TwitterAudit, so he has 6.4 million real followers.
Clinton has 8 million twitter followers. 63% or 5 million of them are real Twitter followers according to TwitterAudit.
So Trump is the Twitter King. That’s not news.
I can guarantee all the fake ones for killary will vote twice.
Thanks for taking the time to do this. The takeaway for me is that Hillary is closer to Trump than I would have guessed.
Only because they do fraud...
“Only because they do fraud...”
That could very well be. MNDude seemed to account for that, but who really knows?
I’m a follower of Trump and I’m sure this is a stupid question, but why would anyone fake being a follower? Doesn’t seem to make sense to me.
They’re fake accounts.
Got it, thanks, Jacknhoo.
