Where Does Each Presidential Candidate Excel on Social?

How well candidates are doing on certain networks might be an indication of the overall political leaning of the audience on that platform.

Social media has had a very broad impact on politics generally, from making candidates more careful about what they say, to reducing polarization.

New data from Engagement Labs shows which candidates are performing well across multiple social sites.

Engagement Labs gathered data on candidate performance from Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Instagram between June 22 and July 15.
