Once again, thanks for your great effort.

When analyzing the data, the question rises. Which is the better indicator, the value "T" representing total followers or the value "ΔT" the change in the total number of followers.

At this point, I would argue that since the Gray Beaver value of "T" is significantly less than others, the % growth of ΔT should not be the measure of her standing. There is no question her popularity is increasing but she is still far behind bernie. She is gaining on Biden but is not there yet.

——I hadn’t thought of overseas support. -——

It can be argued that the overseas followers are not supporter but rather curious observers who check out the up to the minute tweets rather than CNN International

I have to wonder who is promoting the clown known as Joe Walsh.

I never liked the % of growth myself due to fact that it is easy for candidates with less followers to get a large percentage of growth MoM (month over month). I have in there because many have asked for it.

For example, Michael Bennet, who most people have never heard of, had the highest percentage of follower growth this month (25.71%) simply by increasing his followers by 10,000.

Trump "only" had 2% follower growth for August but that represents over 1,200,000 new followers.

True Bert. That same dynamic can be argued for citizens too.
